America's Glorious Quilts

America's Glorious Quilts pays tribute to quilt makers and their art form by reproducing the best American quilts from all historical periods. 272 quilts in all, most in one-page or half-page glossy color photographs. Noted quilt historians contribute essays on the myriad forms quilts have assumed, from the brilliant-hued geometrical patchwork of the Amish to the soft curving of traditional Hawaiian applique to the imaginative approaches of contemporary quilt artists like Nancy Crow, and Michael James.
