Table of Contents
Quilts, long-time household essentials, are now much treasured art forms and family heirlooms. Beginning and experienced collectors will appreciate Vintage Quilts, a new resource to help find out what makes these ageless artifacts worth 100 or 1,000.
This book identifies hundreds of quilt patterns and gives the rationale for the appraisal of each style, pattern, and era of the over 800 quilts shown. Whether a collector, creator, or seller of quilts, you'll find this information about evaluating simple, pieced patterns to elaborate appliqudesigns very educational.
Written by three recognized experts, these members of the AQS Appraiser Certification Committee judge quilt shows, appraise quilts, teach classes, and write books. In Vintage Quilts they provide close-ups of patterns, vintage fabric swatches, and over 800 detailed color photographs showcasing the wide variety of quilts made in America from the 1800s to the 1950s.
