Quilts by Paul D. Pilgrim: Blending the Old and the New Book

Inspired by the quilts in this publication, anyone will be able to turn that stack of Grandmother's unfinished blocks or the patchwork bits and pieces rescued from a flea market into a stunning quilt. This book features 20 full-color, full-page photographs of quilts by Paul D. Pilgrim that blend old blocks and pieces with new fabrics, and it also gives tips on working effectively with these remnants of the past. Commentary by Paul D. Pilgrim and author Gerald E. Roy sheds light on the inspiration for each quilt, and diagrams identify block designs and fabric and block dates, making this book a good tool for historical identification. This publication is sure to result in the rescuing of many an 'orphan' block - and the making of many a beautiful quilt. REVIEW: According to The Chattanooga Times, "I always like the teaching workshops that feature ways to useunfinished objects and find pleasure in the response from the participants. It is fun to create a beautiful work out of bits and pieces of neglected scraps and blocks. That is why the book of Paul Pilgrim's work excited me, for what he did with those scraps is a wonder to behold."Read More
