This beautifully illustrated book is a brilliant book of the history in quilting in Connecticut, a state that made unique contributions to the development of America’s textile industry and it is also the result of ten years of documentation and research and shows more than 145 exceptional and diverse quilts from Connecticut.

Beyond the fantastic colours and shapes of the quilts are the captivating stories of their makers, women and men whose lives were interwoven in Connecticut’s rich history. This book is a must for students of quilt history, women’s studies, textile enthusiasts, and devotees of American history.
