Lovely looking cover - but don't expect to see any INSIDE the book! This book is great for HISTORICAL value, but not neccessarily for "how" to assemble such a quilt. I was quite disappointed, in that regard!

Beautiful gift book! Why do so many Amish and Mennonites who are so devoutly committed to a simple, Austere life make beautiful quilts?

Why this splash of beauty? What are their favorite designs? How has quilting become the very fabric of the Amish and Mennonite life? What are the basic how to's of quilt making?

Quilting has survived among these frugal, simple people because a quilt is not only a piece of art. It is functional.

Chapter 4 Tells how to make a quilt.
