Quilting, Patchwork and Applique: A World Guide

This is the first ever worldwide survey of the wonderfully decorative and allied techniques of: quilting, in which layers of fabric are stitched together, patchwork, in which old or new fabric pieces are cut and re-stitched to produce a new textile; and applique, in which old or new fabric pieces adorn another fabric. With over 500 fascinating illustrations of these crafts from around the world, this book will be invaluable to anyone interested in quilting, art, craft, decorative objects and interior design.
