SUMMARY- Don't let the bland cover fool you - this is an amazing book packed full of information you never knew existed about a topic anyone with an interest in quilts should know just so they can drop little bon mots at their next social outing with similarly interested people (or not, depending on how far you are willing to grace others with your knowledge). I found it completely absorbing and delightful to read, and it gives me an all new appreciation for the sunbonnet baby quilt I inherited. It was probably made for my mother by my grandmother, who enjoyed applique, and the fabrics look right for that time period(1930's-'40's). This book is a wonderful resource for anyone who has a collection, wants to build a collection, or just wants to know the background and history of this well-loved and widely used pattern. This book was on Quilter's Newsletter Magazine's 15th Anniversary Top 100 Quilting Books List for very good reason. I'm a little surprised it wasn't already in my mother's personal library. I had to order it online. There were still multiple copies available as of this writing, so it isn't so scarce as to be impossible to find. I'm a little surprised that AQS or C&T Publishing haven't worked out a deal to republish it. It's certainly one we shouldn't lose track of.
