The decision to include illustrations or photographs in a novel is entirely up to the publisher. From The Runaway Quilt through The Giving Quilt, my publishers have provided pictures of the quilts or quilt blocks on illustrated endpapers of the hardcover editions. Photos of these and the other quilts are also featured on this website in the Quilts Gallery. An eight page photo insert featuring important quilts from the series is provided in An Elm Creek Quilts Companion as well.
