Quilts and Coverlets of Yesterday
We're in an era of nostalgia and like many other great crafts the art of quilt-making is enjoying a revival.
Born of necessity that early American art form of pioneer women, the pieced or appliqued quilt, is a much desired luxury for today's homemaker.
For the quilt, a beautiful example of early handcrafts, is a lovely accent for any home.
Some of us are fortunate in having had a quilt handed down from a belovd grandmother. But for those of us who arent so fortunate is could be a happy experience to make one of our own.
This ebook has been planed for just that --to give you the needed instructions to make your own "heirloom" and to enjoy and exciting and rewarding venture into quilt-making.

APPLIQUE
In applique, the units instead of being pieced together, are whip-stitched in place on a solid-color block to form the design. Sometimes both patchwork and applique are combined to form a design such as a flower. The petals of a tulip may be made in patchwork to form a block, then the stems ancl leaves are appliqued in place an this block to complete the motif.
Patterns:
The units are made and the seam allowances are pressed back in the same manner as for Patchwork (see page 7) under "How to Make a Pattern" and “How to Cut Pieces". There is one thing to remember though — when cutting applique units, it is necessary to clip in well to the fold an curves so that the units will lie flat when stitched in place. When making a flower design, the stems are usually made by cutting bias strips 1 1/2” inches wide.
