A collection of block and border patterns for Baltimore-style album quilts. There are 75 patterns, with annotations covering their history, symbolism and construction. Most of the patterns were chosen by the author, Elly Sienkiewicz, from her previous books, including those that are now out-of-print, and there are four new designs. The book is indexed for finding multiple patterns of any block style, including baskets, bouquets, papercuts and more.
