Back Cover Information

Commemorate an exotic vacation or cultural heritage with this dynamic collection of quilting patterns.

  • Seven continents of style- Arranged by region, both angular and flowing quilting motifs feature an abundance of cultural flair. Anthropologist Dr. Joyce Mori combines her professional experience with her passion for quilting to transform interesting objects into patterns.
  • Over 100 patterns- Some designs can be adapted to redwork-type embroidery, machine appliqué and even machine embroidery. A few continuous -line designs are included for longarm machine quilters.
  • Historical inspiration- The motifs were inspired by an amazing array of sources from 20,000 BC to the twentieth century, such as an Egyptian mummy case, marble floors of Venetian churches, a South Carolina wrought iron railing, and Australian aboriginal art.
