West Virginia Quilts And Quiltmakers

Valentine, involved in a project to seek out, document, and help preserve West Virginia quilts, presents a fabulously beautiful collection of quilts created prior to 1940. Coverage of each work includes a map showing the county in which it was created, its maker, the date it was finished, its pattern, and a lively description of the quilt's composition, including patterns, fabrics, and techniques employed and its relationship to other quilts of the same era.
