SUMMARY- There are a great many gorgeous quilts - and the patterns for many of Ithem - in this book. It's a great series that showcases not only the quilts but the designers who made them. I love that they provide a lovely picture and short bio for each quilter along with their quilt.

While filling in my mom's set of this book, I noticed two things. The titling on the cover is slightly different between the hardcover edition and the softcover edition. The corresponding softcover edition for this one says "Leisure Arts Presents: Great American Quilts, Book Four". The second thing is that buying these used, I found very little difference in price between the hardcover edition and the softcover - so I highly recommend going for the hardcovers, as they hold up much better.
