Revival!: A Study of Early 20th Century Revival Quilts by the American Quilt Study Group

The Colonial Revival era linked quiltmakers' busy hands with a longing for the past, especially Colonial times. Member of the American Quilt Study Group accepted the challenge to study quilts of this era by making reproductions of Colonial Revival quilts from the early 20th century. Included in the book are 28 study quilts, with patterns for 10. Fifteen of the 28 quilts are traveling across the country in a special exhibit. The American Quilt Study Group is believed to be the oldest and largest member organization dedicated to quilt-related studies in the world.
