In this vintage quilting book, Jessie MacDonald and Marian H. Shafer take you from square one to a finished quilt in easy, clear steps. There are patterns for 37 patchwork blocks, illustrated in color. There are easy patterns for beginners and advanced patterns for more experienced sewers. Using the blocks, you can then turn them into pillow tops, tote bags and a child's quilt, as well as a full-sized quilt, using easy-to-follow steps. You will find information on planning the amount of fabric needed, as well as sewing techniques. Even a brief history of quilting is included. This hardcover book (127 pages) is a vintage book in very good condition. Very slight wear on the dust cover, a partial price mark, and a small notation and name crossed out on the cover page are the only blemishes.
