Project Overview
What do we really know about the history and traditions of quilting? So many stories have been handed down, but they don't always hold up under a close look at history. Find out the real stories behind what we all thought we knew about the history of quilt design and construction. The many color photos and incredible stories of antique quilts included are sure to delight even non-quilters.
