"Treasures from the '30s: Cheerful Quilts with Vintage Appeal", by Nancy Mahoney is a wonderful new book, published by Martingale & Company, home of That Patchwork Place.
The introduction for this book sets the stage, sharing insights on what it was like to be a quilter in the '30s. Another section is included for Quiltmaking basics, making this an excellent choice for a beginner quilter as instructions, and great visuals are provided for everything from rotary cutting, applique, to binding a quilt.
There are eight projects in this book, all scrappy in a style.
Patterns range in size of 56 1/2" x 56 1/2". to 53 3/4" x 70".
Some of the designs contain beautiful applique.
This is a must have book for anyone that likes to make reproduction quilts. It is also a fun book for anyone interested in cute designs, that can easily be made with current fabrics.
