The United States patchwork pattern book (美国补缀样书)

In 1907, a popular farm magazine Hearth & Home inaugurated its States-of-the-Union series of quilt patterns for which readers from around the country were asked to contribute. The 48 best patterns, whether original designs or the senders' "favorites," then appeared in the magazine, and are reprinted here along with the patterns for the then "outlying possessions" of Alaska and
Hawaii. After years of searching for now very scarce issues of the magazine, the editors have collected all 50 blocks and prepared full-size patterns.
Basic instructions are provided along with yardage requirements and many of the original anecdotes and comments.
A Dover original, based on 50 patchwork quilt block patterns originally published in Hearth & Home magazine, 1907-1912. 80pp. 8 1/4×11. Paperbound.
