Inspired by blocks from a quilt more than a century old, Quilts from Aunt Amy is dedicated to the memory of Mary Tendall Etherington's beloved aunt, Amy Anderson, and her exceptional quiltmaking talents. Now the design team of Country Threads has taken blocks from one of Aunt Amy's traditional sampler quilts to create 20 scrap-quilt patterns with a wonderfully old-fashioned feel. Each project combines Aunt Amy's enduring, classic style with the distinct flavor of Country Threads. Inside, you'll find:
- Favorite patterns from Aunt Amy's time, including Bull's Eye, Drunkard's Path, Wedding Ring, Flying Geese, Arabic Lattice, Jacob's Ladder, and Slashed Album
- Traditional designs updated to accommodate quick cutting and piecing techniques
- Special vintage photographs of Aunt Amy, plus a fascinating history of her creative life
