fascinating and unique
An amazingly detailed description of one of the earliest pieced patchwork. It isn't a quilt because no batting was used. English paper pieced by an unusual method. Very creative and artistic. This book is a must for anyone interested in the history of quilting. Very detailed descriptions of the blocks with construction techniques and alternatives.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
