Try "The Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns" by Barbara Brackman.
Actually, all of her books are useful for either identifying quilt
patterns or dating pieces by their fabrics. "Clues in the Calico" is
another by her.

Subject: quilt question

I'm looking for books about identifying quilt patterns
and techniques.  We have a
small collection of early 20th century quilts here at
theSam Rayburn House Museum.  Unfortunately, this
collection contains little to no
documentation, making it difficult for us to interpret
these textiles to the public.  If you have a
suggestion for a good quilt reference book or even a
website, I'd be
very grateful.  


Thanks in advance,  

Anne
