Title: This is what it says it is!
Review: This was never intended to be a book of patterns that you can use to make quilt blocks - read the title and it is exactly what it says it is - an illustrated INDEX. Antique applique patterns are difficult to categorize since they were often the creations of the quilt's maker - Barbara Brackman has undertaken a difficult task in trying to index them. This is an excellent REFERENCE BOOK (not a how-to!)that will be very useful to anyone who collects antique quilts or who likes to work with traditional quilt patterns. NOTE: OUT OF PRINT! Don't believe Amazon when they tell you they can get a book in 4-6 weeks - this usually means it is out of print.
