A celebration of the South's rich quilting history as seen thru hundreds of quilts from each southern state.

Hundreds of quilts, in over 270 images, celebrate and explore the South's rich quilting history.

Quilt expert Mary W. Kerr joins 13 other textile historians to show why southern
quilts have a distinctiveness setting them apart, including factors like their patterns, use of tiny pieces, and specific color choices. Learn how the South's quilting traditions developed among all socioeconomic levels, and in communities such as African American, Scots Irish, and German.

The use of cotton, the prominence of making-do aesthetics, and other characteristics are discussed, with in-depth looks at topics like feed sack use and tricolor quilts. Explore the classic patterns of Crown of Thorns, Whigs' Defeat, and Double Wedding Ring. Enjoy regional treasures like Texas Rattlesnake, the Shenandoah Valley
Farmers Fancy, and many more.

This compilation includes quilts from every Deep South state, offering commentary, examples, and insights.
