Chintz Quilts: Unfading Glory- Based on the Chintz Quilts in the Collections of The Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, Vermont and the Charleston Museum, Charleston, South Carolina

From the Preface: "...Our purpose in writing the book is twofold. We want to share with you the beauty of chintz quilts; we also want to inspire you with some different ideas in design and the use of chintz fabric. Except for broderie perse, the techniques used in making chintz quilts are the same used for making any other kind of quilt. I had made several quilted projects before I saw my first chintz quilt. I had always planned to make a quilt, but just never got around to it. It was the chintz that really inspired me to commit myself...." Betty Jo Shiell
