Explores the two-hundred-year-old American tradition of freewheeling, improvisational, and asymmetrical quilts, whose makers experimented boldly with design, color, and pictorial motifs. This work examines the aesthetics and the social history of quilts from the nineteenth century onwards, including Amish, African American, and modern art quilts.
