Quilters throughout the ages often work with materials that are readily at hand. Even though necessity dictated this early form of recycling, exuberant and bold quilts often resulted. Bold Expressions: The Collection of Corrine Riley celebrates the work of African American women quilters of the South between 1910 and the 1970s.
Made entirely by women the quilts are celebrated for their bold improvisation and modern take on traditional quilting patterns, such as the House Top or Log Cabin, Star of Bethlehem and Pine Burr. Many of the quilts are made from...flour sacks, old blue jeans and work clothes and fabric remnants. The collection is on view at the Mingei International Museum through November 6, 2011.
