I own this book and consider it to be very collectible. It's sort of kooky and certainly in the "hippy" style. The quilts it demonstrates are kind of of what our quiltmaking grandmothers would make as "utility quilts." The copywrite date is 1974, so this was written at the very beginning of the new quilt making era for us. And the young woman who wrote the book was certainly a "quilting pioneer" of that time. Even now, although I've been quilting for many years, I can look back at that book and see things I want to do in it.
If I didn't already own this book, I'd snatch it up. P.S. it's hardbound.

Classic! Beautiful, practical designs. Down-to-earth instructions. Not for the technophile.
