An illustrated survey of quilting and patchwork traditions around the world, written by Shiela Betterton for the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin. It traces the origins of both crafts in the East and their spread to Britain, Europe and North America. It then looks at regional traditions in northern England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Holland, Sweden, Asia and Australasia, covering Log Cabin, crazy patchwork, Album quilts and strippy quilts. The article ends with acknowledgements and a bibliography, followed by twelve captioned plates of quilts from American, English, Welsh, Swedish and Dutch collections.
