Beauty Secrets: 150 Years of Quilts in One Pattern

Quilt collector Bill Volckening gave us another sneak preview at some of the gems he will share with the public at our museum during Quilt County 2011.

Read his thoughts and see some of the New York Beauty quilts on his blog at http://willywonkyquilts.blogspot.com/2010/10/quilts-for-exhibit.html.
