This is my second book about fabric and its influence on the look of American quilts. This time, the focus is on the twentieth century. Twentieth-century-quilt style actually began in the 1890s, with significant changes in dye technology. The story ends in 1970, with the recent revival of interest in quilting on the horizon.
As early as the 1830s, American periodicals occasionally published patchwork patterns. In the 1880s, as innovations in printing, illustration, and mall service lowered publishing costs, the number of magazines increased and illustrations in those magazines grew more sophisticated.
Technology often dictates taste, but the end-of-the-century a trend known as the Arts and Crafts Movements created taste by defying technology.
