This volume explores the colourful history of quilt making, focusing on its story in Europe, Egypt and America. Quilting can refer either to the process of creating a quilt or to the sewing of two or more layers of material together to make a thicker padded material. Typical quilting is done with three layers: the top fabric or quilt top, batting or insulating material in the middle, and then the backing material. This fascinating volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the origins and development of quilting, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage quilt-making literature. Contents include: "Patchwork In Antiquity", "Patchwork And Quilting", "During The Middle Ages", "Patchwork And Quilting In Old England", "The Quilt In America", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on quilting.
