Spend a day expanding your quilt knowledge at the "Elegant Geometry" exhibit on view now through January 8, 2012, at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, NE. The mosaic quilts on display are silent testimony to the unbelievable amount of time, patience, and skill shown by their makers.
Mosaic quilts are eye-dazzling textiles made from thousands of precisely shaped fabric patches formed with the help of paper templates.The technique was used in the British Isles as early as the 1700s, and became popular in other parts of Europe, as well in as Britain's North American colonies.
Not able to make it to the show? Watch a curator podcast to learn more about how these quilts reveal the process of assembly, the complexity of the results, and the frugality of the needlewomen who made them.
