Book: ‎ 416 pages

This is a pattern book for quilt making that was created with the idea of having 365 patchwork patterns for each day, just like there are birth flowers and birthstones.

From patchwork quilts that have been popular in America for a long time, we have selected 365 days of patchwork patterns that were created mainly from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, including patterns related to the time of year and season, popular patterns, and rare patterns that have not been well known until now, and introduce them as "birthday patterns".

One day, one pattern per page, one year's worth of patterns (366 types) are published. All patterns are introduced with examples, and drawings, sewing order, origins of names, and historical stories related to quilts are also included.

It is a step beyond conventional quilt pattern books, where you can enjoy looking at the photos, enjoying sewing, and enjoying reading about quilting knowledge.

The pattern examples were made possible with the cooperation of popular quilt artists and their friends, and are a must-see as examples of fabric usage and color schemes.
In addition, antique quilts and old quilt tops that were the basis for the patterns in the book are also introduced with beautiful visuals. Every page will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the charm of deep American quilts.

As for how to enjoy birthday patterns, you can find birthday patterns for your friends and make presents for them, as well as for your own birthdays, or join all the patterns in your family to make a family quilt. It is also recommended as an introductory book for those who are interested in quilting but do not want to make quilts, or who want to learn about quilts or enjoy looking at them. This is a book that you can enjoy for a long time, whether you are looking for a pattern with your favorite motif, or keeping it in your room as a coffee table book.
