Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns (3rd Edition)
by
Barbara Brackman
A one-stop-shop for quilt pattern identification and inspiration, this fabulous book should be in every quilters' library!
Barbara Brackman’s classic quilters' resource, the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, is fully modernized and updated with over 160 new blocks, and presented in full colour for the first time in this third edition! All of the 4,000+ pieced quilt block patterns found in this book are illustrated with both a line drawing and sample colour suggestions to ensure that you will never run out of inspiration! Quilters, quilt historians, and textile enthusiasts will love the detailed information on pattern names and publication sources included with each block pattern.
The book is easy to use in a multitude of ways: look up block designs by name to find a perfectly themed pattern, search by layout and construction information to find the name of the pattern in a historic quilt, or just browse the pages until your next quilting project catches your eye!
