American Quilts: Selections from the Winterthur Collection
May 22, 2010–September 6, 2010

More than 40 outstanding quilts on exhibit from Winterthur document women’s political, social, and cultural lives in the formative period of the early American republic (1760-1850). With skillful needlework, graphic patterning, and an eye for color, quiltmakers transformed both common and exotic textiles into extraordinary works of art.
