This is the first book to take a global, historical, political, and aesthetic look at patchwork. It consists of 9 chapters ranging from "Origins of Patchwork" to "Traditional Motifs and Their Meaning," including patchwork as a source of inspiration for artists and fashion (Matisse, Klimt, Lacroix, Saint Laurent). At the end of each chapter, a double page is devoted to the work of Jacqueline Morel, who was a central patchwork artist in France and a major artisan of its revival. She was notably the director of the France Patchwork association. Finally, a practical notebook containing patterns closes the book, allowing readers to use the book more practically.
