Representing a typically American decorative art, quilts are a form of social female pastime and even cottage industry which has had periods of popularity from colonial days through to the modern era. The quilts shown on this cube range in style from pieced to appliqué to plate printed fabrics from the 1800’s and even include a rare wholecloth quilt from the 1700’s. Varying in subject and style, the quilts tell their own story of American women and Americana, all detailed and explained on the color storycard which includes the full images of the quilts themselves.
