Originally published in the early 1950s, this rare quilt making book contains many unique vintage patterns not found in other quilting books like Round the World, Blue Bells of Scotland, Shamrock, Alcazar, Red Poppy and Fleur De Lis. Other designs include Martha Washington's Wreath, London Square, Maple Leaf, Greek Cross, Pineapple, Dutch Windmill -- all charming designs deriving their design influence from many countries.

This book includes 12 designs along with full instructions for making each quilt -- quantity of fabric, cutting and marking, specifics for each quilt, etc. Two center pages give very detailed instructions on how to make a pattern, cutting pieces, applying designs, appliqueing pieces, lining the quilt, and quilting the blocks.
