Celebrate the 250th anniversary of America with 250 quilts that artistically express Virginia's contributions to our nation's history.
A quintessential part of American art and culture, quilting has long expressed our 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 fiber 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.
In conjunction with the prestigious Virginia Quilt Museum's mission to cultivate and preserve the quilting arts in Virginia, these quilts were expressly made for the US semiquincentennial. Grouped into themes of "Power of Place," "Unfinished Revolutions," "Virginia Experiments," and "We the People," the quilts capture history in a remarkable way, using countless types of fabrics, materials, styles, and interpretations. Now Virginia is not only for lovers but is also for marveling at our quilted history.
