Description
A vibrant, in-depth survey of the techniques and traditions of patchwork around the world.

Pieced together much like the gorgeous textiles it celebrates, this vibrant book takes you from Europe and the Americas to Africa and Asia, highlighting the distinctive local features of over 300 examples of patchwork and appliqué, while revelling in the universality of these wonderful textile arts.
