From Library Journal:

Authors Morris and Muir, both experienced lecturers, teachers, and quilt judges, are on a mission to salvage old and funky orphan quilt topsAthose unquilted tops that would be relegated to the scrap heap or cut up to make teddie bears if left to less expert hands. After making it clear that they do not advocate creating new quilts from museum-quality tops, the authors discuss sources for old tops, gathering the proper supplies for the restoration, assessing and then remaking the top, quilting, finishing, and documenting the entire process. The reader is led step by step through 20 restorations. The last half of the book includes patterns and instructions for each of the restored quilts, enabling readers to experience the thrill of replicating these classic quilts. An excellent purchase for large public libraries and quilting book collections.
