内容简介

With the need to "use it up and make it do" during the Great Depression, quilting exploded in popularity. By the mid-1930s, over 400 newspapers printed block patterns on a regular basis. Author Nancy Mahoney has been lucky enough to find scrapbooks filled with clippings of those patterns. She shares her favorites in this rare collection. ? Eleven scrappy quilt patterns include "Chinese Puzzle," "Patriotic Star," and "Treasure Chest" ? Designs feature ’30s reproduction fabrics that capture the cheerful colors reminiscent of the era ? Block patterns are updated with quick cutting and piecing techniques—get that old-fashioned look in less time
