Quilt Inspirations from Africa : A Caravan of Ideas, Patterns, Motifs, and Techniques
The authors are not African art historians, nor do they speak from a personal African heritage; instead, they are expert quilters and quilting instructors who have been inspired by the colors, fabrics, and artistry of African design and have set out to make quilts reflecting this inspiration. After an introduction to textile design and textile arts in Africa, the authors present a "Caravan of Quilts" 16 quilt patterns inspired by African motifs and colors. As is the norm for Quilt Digest Press, color illustrations abound, and full-size quilting designs and templates are included. A good choice for public library quilting collections.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
