Friendship quilts originated in America in the 1840s, an expression of social cohesion in a land of vast distances. This book documents a modern celebration of friendship in a collection of twenty-three delightful floral applique quilts, made of individual blocks sewn by the members of a quilters' group in The Netherlands. The story of its making accompanies each quilt; complete pattern diagrams and sewing instructions are also included for each quilt.
