The Fiber Arts Center features its next upcoming quilt exhibit: “American Quilt Study Group: Nineteenth Century Blues Quilt Exhibit”

American Quilt Study Group participants of this exhibit were challenged to select a nineteenth-century quilt and to create a smaller replica quilt, interpreting the elements of the original quilt. These twenty-five quilts will be displayed with photographs of the original inspiration quilts and a personal statement by the quiltmaker about what they learned and reflections on the process. Members incorporated designs featuring indigo, Prussian, cadet, and other nineteenth-century blues.

In this exhibit, you will read about the process of creation for each study quilt. Makers each chose the processes they would use, following the Quilt Study guidelines. The joys and trials of each piece demonstrate the effort of each participant. The study guidelines are also provided so that you may understand the creation process from the makers’ perspective. Come see this amazing exhibit at the Fiber Arts Center which will be on display from May 13th- July 25th!
