Just in time for America's 2026 semiquincentennial, reveals the significance--especially for women--of commemorative quilt making through 250 years of US history.
Quilts were not just lying on beds during America's history; in fact, they were sewn specifically to celebrate all of the nation's important birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations.
- overviews of commemorative quilting as it fits in with many of US history's key time points, 200 photographs showing the history of and striking variations within the quilting art form, and explanations of how quilt making intersects with sociopolitical eras, such as the civil rights movement and the women's rights movement.
