Quilts”

DISCUSSION: "The system unveiled here for dating heirloom quilts is based

making." An extremely helpful book which includes the following chapters:

- The Quilt Detective

- Clues in Cotton Prints
- Clues in Techniques
- Clues in Style
- Clues in Patterns

interior has some minor soil, and a bookplate.
