[Catherine Woodman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This author has been doing an outstanding job of documenting the patterns of the Baltimore album quilts, producing patterns that an intermediate quilter can follow and accomplish, and providing a historical context for each design--she is unparalleled in this work and this book is no exception.
