The detailed patterns of sixteen bold American quilts, beautifully reproduced on paper, serve here to cover and decorate packages instead of beds. This inspired collection of designs produced anonymously between the 18th and the 20th century includes both popular and highly original motifs, crazy quilts, and album quilts. Eight pages of text and black-and-white illustrations present each quilt in its entirety; the brightly colored details provide aesthetic and useful giftwraps.
