Synopsis

Drawing on the remarkable Poos Collection, this volume presents one hundred antique quilts and textiles, photographed in colour and accompanied by considered, informative essays. The selection highlights a wide range of historic workmanship, from elaborate hand piecing and appliqué to signature quilts and wholecloth examples, alongside an extraordinary war cover quilt described as the only known example from America.

With its emphasis on rarely seen artefacts and the history behind them, it offers a focused resource for readers interested in America’s quilt history and pre-1860 textiles.
