Tessellations & Variations by Barbara Ann Caron. The author invites the reader to collect thousands of unique fabrics and discover what makes the one-and two-patch quilt designs so popular.
A 22-year-old design/technique book, one of the 275 quilting books I acquired recently. Caron is a professor and this reads like a textbook. The information is still valid. [As I read these older books I wonder if the writers are still quilting.]
