This is a pattern book for quilting that was created with the idea that it would be nice to have patchwork patterns for 365 days of the year, just like there are birth flowers and birthstones.
This book presents 365 days of patchwork patterns selected from patchwork quilts, which have long been popular in America, that were created mainly from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, including patterns related to the time of year and season, popular patterns, and rare patterns that have not been well known until now, and introduces them as "Birthday Patterns."
Each day, one pattern per page, contains a year's worth of patterns (366 types). All patterns are introduced with examples, and include drawings, sewing orders, the origins of their names, and historical stories related to quilting.
This book goes a step beyond traditional quilt pattern books, allowing you to enjoy looking at the photos, sewing, and reading about quilting knowledge.
The pattern examples were made possible with the cooperation of popular quilt artists and their friends, and are a must-see as examples of fabric usage and color schemes.
In addition, the book also introduces beautiful images of antique quilts and old quilt tops that served as the inspiration for the patterns featured in the book. Every page will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the profound charm of American quilts.
You can enjoy birthday patterns not only for your own birthday, but also for finding birthday patterns for friends and making gifts, or piecing together all the family patterns to create a family quilt. It's also a great introductory book for those interested in quilting who don't plan on making one but want to learn about quilts or enjoy looking at them. Find patterns with your favorite motifs, keep them in your room as a coffee table book, or use them however you like. This is a book you can enjoy for years to come.
