“Absorbing is the word that comes to my mind, both for the book’s essays and the exquisite photographs of quilts...”

— Amazon user

“The book will surely be one of the seminal quilt history books of the 21st century.”

— Bill Volckening

“I read the book cover to cover last night and I have dozens of ideas in my head for new quilts inspired by the quilts in this book. There is something for everyone in this book, quilt historians, quilt collectors, modern quilters, traditional quilters and artists. This book might change the way you think about quilts.”

— Tim Latimer

“Seeing quilts like the ones in this book is changing the way I think as an artist. As a graphic and quilt designer, I find it visually and emotionally awakening. With riots of colors and compositions, prints and patterns, this book will be an inspiration for not only generations of quilters but also artists working with many mediums.”

— Sujata Shah

“Beautiful, amazing, fantastic book…”

— Tonya Ricucci

“What a beautiful volume – the book itself, the intelligent, thoughtful writings, the photographs… well done!”

U&U quilts “surprisingly improvisational, much like Jazz is to music”

Tim Latimer sat down to work on some new and improvised quilt tops. I loved seeing U&U in the middle of his quilting space, right where I want it to be. See his images below. So many vibrant colors!

“I have one of his other books ‘The American Quilt: A History of Cloth and Comfort 1750-1950’ and this book completes the story. People often view quilting as nonexistent between the late 40’s and the quilt revival of the 70’s. This book shows that this was not the case. The nearly 150 quilts in this book are surprisingly improvisational, much like Jazz is to music. The notes are the same but they are played differently. It is a beautiful book and I highly recommend it.”
