August 2016
This scholarly introduction to indigo fabrics traces their history from Africa to the U.S.A. The thirty indigo and white quilts are held in the Poo collection in America. Each quilt has a full page photo, plus close up detail and its history. The five projects are copies of history quilts from the Collection. They are pieced and appliqued blocks. The instructions assume prior knowledge of the required techniques.
