Book Description
Many American women made warm and attractive quilts to benefit U.S. soldiers during the period 1940-1945, either as outright gifts or as raffle items to raise money for good causes. This book reflects the author's extensive original research of newspaper and magazine articles of the era that feature these quilts. This work authenticates the patterns and designs available to quiltmakers and anchors the quilts historically in time. 335 color photos and descriptive text identify many colorful and patriotic quilts with military symbols and insignia, quilts made for donation to the Red Cross and organizations such as Bundles for Britain to raise money for the war effort. When possible, original patterns and designs that inspired the quilts are included. This work is important historically and emotionally to the appreciative families for whom these quilts, and thousands more yet to be discovered, were originally intended. Their legacies will continue because now these quilts can be interpreted from factual and objective perspectives.

Book Description
"In 2013 a challenge was issued to west coast quilters to create small quilts (roughly 18" x 18") depicting scenes from the World War II Home Front with stories to accompany them. The purpose of the challenge was to provide a special exhibit within the gigantic "Voices in Cloth" quilt show presented at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond in 2014. The WWII theme was chosen because the Craneway Pavilion is located next to the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park. The special exhibit was a huge success. People gathered three-deep to admire the quilts and reminisce over the stories. We noted a continuing interest in our little collection, so we did two things: We issued a second challenge, and we "took the show on the road." The original show included 30 quilts. We added 15 with the second challenge which broadened the subjects depicted [...] This little project grew and grew. The response has been tremendous. We have returned the quilts to the creators, but we have memorialized the collection in the book we are presenting to you."--Letter accompanying book.

Book Description
Quiltmaking in the 1910s can be best described as the convergence of the quilt styles of the late nineteenth century with the new innovations of the early twentieth century. One phenomenon of the era was the emergence of major entrepreneurial quilt designers and the exciting fresh look in quilts they contributed to the quilt world. Two catastrophic events in 1917 and 1918 interrupted the emergence of these new trends in quiltmaking. World War I, also referred to as the "Great War" and the 1918 Pandemic Flu, also known as "The Spanish Flu" brought hardship and death to America, and the entire world. Much of the quiltmaking from April 1917 to March 1919, was mostly focused solely on providing for our soldiers and the Red Cross. With their quiltmaking skills, women contributed thousands of quilts for one of the greatest benevolent efforts of the twentieth century.
