Plaids & Stripes: The Use of Directional Fabric in Quilts
Roberta Horton begins with a discussion of the history of plaid and striped cloth and continues with suggestions for their use in quilting. The explanations are clear, easy to follow, and include all the information needed to complete a well-designed and executed quilt. The variety of works illustrated encourages the quiltmaker to pursue new aesthetic solutions. Of particular interest are the discussions of African-American quilts and nontraditional contemporary quilts. --FromIndependent Publisher
