I have a different review of the book. I bought it when it first came out, the info to me was just a rehash of the same thing I have read in quit magazines and books. The quilters she profiles had the same information about them as their website or interviews in magazines.
If you like the Quilter's Catalog you will love
Quilts in America by Patsy and Myron Orlofsky. The book is said to be the most important book ever published about traditional American quilts. It's a must have for every quilt library.
