{"content":[{"text":"Strip sets have a pre-eminent place in the quilting world, well beyond there role in Bargellos. \n Every Bargello ever made and every Bargello made in the future will use strip sets. Barbara \n Brackman, the pre-eminent quilt historian, collected block patterns on index cards and put \n them in a shoe box. When she got to 4000+, she stopped and joined with Electric Quilt (EQ) to \n publish an encyclopedia. The book is 555 pages and contains everything you ever wanted to \n know about the blocks: size, templates, names, history, paper piece templates and more. They \n also developed a stand-alone program version of the encyclopedia, not connected to EQ. It is an \n amazing resource. The latest update to EQ contains the entire encyclopedia. I spent an hour or \n so going through the encyclopedia program and found over fifty blocks that you make using \n strip sets. The entire n-patch category, 4-patch, 9-patch, 5-patch, etc., and the entire Irish Chain \n family to just name a few. That is pretty impressive for such a simple process!","bbox":{"left":0.11777,"top":0.094028,"width":0.7636879999999999,"height":0.228952}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
