Description

A quintessential part of American art and culture, quilting has long expressed its history. Now is the perfect time for art enthusiasts, quilters and history lovers to enjoy these 250 new quilt interpretations focused on the state of Virginia's history.

The quilts, created by award-winning fibre artists and accomplished amateurs, reflect Virginia's 250 years in the US in a remarkable way. These stitched creations use fabric to highlight Virginia's nature, science, history, people, involvement in the Civil War, maps and boundaries, and more. From Ella Fitzgerald to Dave Matthews, from Chapstick to peanut farms, from the Underground Railroad to America's railroad industry, the quilts deliver a new perspective.
