Over the last thirty years, Pat Nickols amassed a wondrous collection of mostly American quilts; a quilt and fabric historian, her knowledge of this important genre of American folk art is boundless. The collection is comprised of traditional quilts made from the early 1800s to the 1950s, gathered from many parts of the United States. It includes excellent examples of many types of quilts including Log Cabin, Charm, String and Signature quilts, and quilts made with feed, flour, and sugar sacks.

350 quilts from the Pat L. Nickols Collection are now photographed and available for viewing online! Please visit their Collections page to browse the Pat L. Nickols Quilt Collection.
