Primarily Quilts: 19th Century Inspirations by Di Ford

Primarily Quilts is a beautiful collection of 19th-century inspired quilt designs by Australian quiltmaker Di Ford. Published by Quiltmania, this 240-page book features 18 exquisite quilt projects rooted in antique traditions, with Di’s signature use of reproduction fabrics, medallion layouts, appliqué, and English paper piecing.

Each quilt is accompanied by detailed instructions, full-page photos, and Di’s thoughtful commentary on technique and fabric selection. Her passion for fussy cutting and choosing just the right print to bring a design to life is woven throughout the book.

Quilt projects include:
Phoebe, 19th Century Baskets, Drayton Hall, Sampler Wedding, Rose Basket Medallion, Georgetown Circle, Queen Victoria’s Crown, Road 66, Jane Austen Quilt, Maggie Grace’s Garden, and more.

This is not just a pattern book—it’s also a glimpse into Di Ford’s journey as a teacher, shop owner, and lifelong lover of antique quilts.
