The quilt Jane Austen made Several pieces of her work survive and can be seen at the Jane Austen's House museum in Chawton, Hampshire, UK, including a white embroidered indian muslin tucker, a white embroidered lawn handkerchief and this patchwork quilt which was made by herself, her sister, Cassandra, and her mother at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The quilt is worked using two sizes of lozenge diamond, and a rhomboid shape of fl-and-white spotted fabric for the light-coloured 'trellis' effect dividing the diamonds.

Amazon.com: Glorious Patchwork: Books: Kaffe Fassett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) All quilts have step-by-step instructions, and actual size templates are included for photocopying at the back of the book. I think this is an absolutely excellent quilting book for anyone who needs a reminder of what one can do with color--I highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of the same old traditional color schemes and the not-so-inventive, often washed-out contemporary ones. There is a quilt based on the mosaic floor of St. Mark's in Venice, one that uses all flowered fabrics that seem to come from old-fasioned tea cups (without ever looking frumpy or frilly) and my favorite, one that uses all variety of greens to create a glowing emerald garden quilt. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0517708531?v=glance   (1694 words)
