Border to Border: Historic Quilts And Quiltmakers Of Montana

by Annie Hanshew

For over two decades, volunteers from across Montana registered local quilts as a part of the Montana Historic Quilt Project. The quilts chronicle Montana's history over the last 150 years, telling the stories of statehood, the struggle for women’s suffrage, two world wars, the Great Depression, as well as the recent past. This highly illustrated book showcases the Montana’s best, most unique, and most interesting quilts and describes the life and times of the extraordinary people who made them. Border to Border: Quilts and Quiltmakers of Montana is an invaluable addition to quilting literature and to Montana history.

I always learn something new from these state documentation books. I like the personal stories of quiltmakers and learning a bit about each state...what it has in common with other states and how it sets itself apart.
