Publisher's Note The first national survey of African-American quiltmakers, this beautiful volume is a look at the quilters the author met across America over a twenty-year period. Their stories and quilts both inform and inspire.
Industry Reviews "Chock-full of photographs of black quiltmakers (most of them women, although there are a few men) and the beautiful objects they create, it is both a tribute to and an analysis of the quiltmaker's art....This stunning book presents quilts as more than just covers to keep us warm: Here, they are objects of beauty and symbols of a black heritage that reaches all the way back to Africa."
