Fons and Porter have chosen 24 vintage quilts from the collections of the Henry Ford, a Michigan museum complex established by the Ford family in 1929, and offer instructions and full-size patterns for each to enable the modern quilter to reproduce these American treasures. The quilts are divided into five major groups: "Quilts of Susan McCord" (an extraordinarily talented 19th-century Indiana farm wife who quilted for some 50 years), "Red & White Quilts," "Log Cabin Quilts," "Appliqué Quilts," and "Patchwork Quilts." Each pattern is illustrated with a color photo of the original quilt and includes a history, a materials list, full-size patterns, and step-by-step instructions. Special sections cover American quilting from 1825 to 1925, a gallery of McCord's quilts, and an annotated bibliography for further reading on 19th-century quilting. A solid choice for all quilting collections.
