Abstract (en)

The author examined the surprisingly large number of detective novels that feature quilts or quilting. Although quilts and murder seem an unlikely match, there are remarkable similiarities between quilts and detective novels; quilts work well as a focus for the genre. An annotated bibliography of nineteen [20th c.] quilt detective novels (and one play) is included.
