ISBN: 0000486248453.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the end of the 19th century, the homemade quilt had achieved the status of bona fide art form. The most prized examples were done in the appliqué style: colored pieces of fabric were sewn onto a white muslin background in intricate patterns or patchwork. Then, the entire piece was stitched together with batting and backing. The result was a \"show\" quilt, prized for its beauty and unusual design.\nThis volume features over 40 splendid examples of turn-of-the-century appliqué quilt designs — a unique resource and an inspiration for designers, artists, illustrators, and needleworkers. Many patterns have robust histories dating back to colonial times. Others are more recent variations or embellishments of time-honored themes.\nChoose from a wealth of traditional motifs: pineapples, oak leaves, baskets, cardinals, wreaths, roses, as well as such perennially popular patterns as \"Old Town Pump\" and \"Priscilla Alden.\" Graphic artists and craftspeople will find this book a valuable reference while colorists will enjoy adding rich hues to a treasury of favorite patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45272553553973,"sku":"ByrdShop_0486248453","price":65.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/oldfashioned-appliqu-quilt-designs-dover-pictorial-archive-0000486248453","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
