My Quilt History by Suzuko Koseki

My Quilt History is a visual and personal journey through the life and work of Japanese quilter Suzuko Koseki, tracing her creative path through 45 quilts made over the course of her career.

Part quilt archive, part memoir, the book pairs finished works with the stories behind them—revealing how color, pattern, fashion, and lived experience intersect in Koseki’s distinctive style. From early pieces to more recent creations, each quilt reflects a moment in time, offering insight into how ideas evolve through years of making.

Suzuko Koseki studied fashion before discovering patchwork quilting, enrolling in Chuck’s Patchwork School in 1978 under the guidance of Nohara Chuck. Known for her pop-inflected, chic, and refreshingly modern approach to quilting, her work has inspired generations of quilters drawn to bold color and thoughtful design.

This book is especially meaningful for quiltmakers interested in the relationship between creative practice and personal history—and for anyone who loves seeing how a life unfolds through textiles.
