This is a 1979 Chilton Needlework Series book on Quilting for the beginner through techniques for the more advanced Quilt Artist. Dorothy Frager takes you on a journey into how quilting was done before computers and devices. This is the nuts and bolts of quilt-making and you will become very grounded as a Quilt Artist with the depth of knowledge from this book. This is an older book, but still in very good condition and there are templates and patterns within that haven't been used. It is a great way to learn the art and an asset to your craft library.
