Quilts: Under Quilts, you will find seven ways for making coverlets and quilts in the American tradition. Included are seventeen patchwork patterns with such interesting names as "Shoo Fly," "Drunkard's Path," and "Pandora's Box." Rugs: There are ten ways to make rugs and the directions for making them.
