Most of the coverlets in North America were woven between 1800 and the Civil War by women who brought the art from Europe. In this book the author explores this art and assembles a collection of 80 coverlets, mostly Pennsylvania German in origin and explains their history and conctruction.
The information given includes color, fiber, size, and other pertinent notes, as well as weaving drafts and photographs that convey the thread-by-thread quality of the textiles.
