Florida Quilts by Charlotte Allen Williams

This stunning book of more than 200 photographs - 137 in full color - celebrates the enduring works of love and beauty assembled by the Florida Quilt Heritage Project, a five-year program to discover, document and preserve the history of Florida as expressed through Florida quilts and the lives of the quilters. From traditional patterns like Log Cabin and Double Wedding Ring to originals such as "Money Bags" (pieced with bank coin bags) and the "Miracle Quilt of Democracy," to contemporary Florida designs such as "Sand in Our Shoes" and "A Salute to Space Exploration," the photographs illustrate the variety and quality of Florida quilt making from 1845 to the present.
