“Beautiful Chaos” of improvisational quilts

Grab a cuppa and head on over to Collector’s Weekly to see an excellent article, The Beautiful Chaos of Improvisational Quilts by Lisa Hix. Senior Editor Ben Marks explains,

It features more than a dozen photos of quilts by Sherry Ann Byrd, her extended family, and several other African American quilt makers. Byrd also gave us some great quotes, as did Oakland, California, quilt collector Eli Leon, who helped champion the art form by organizing a show of Improvisational Quilts at San Francisco’s Craft and Folk Art Museum in the late 1980s. Several quilts from that landmark exhibition are reproduced in our article.
