Quilts, Their Story and How to Make Them

Marie D. Webster (1859 - 1956)

Although the quilt is one of the most familiar and necessary articles in our households, its story is yet to be told. In spite of its universal use and intimate connection with our lives, its past is a mystery which -- at the most -- can only be partially unraveled. (from the Introduction)
