The art of patchwork quilting is all-American & is perhaps one of the first visible forms of recycling. An old shirt or pair of dungarees often found new life in a bedcovering. Here, the local community gathers to quilt the finished cover to the batting and to discuss current events of the day. Quilting provided a means of self-expression. Through color, patterns, images & words woven into their quilts, women demonstrated their creativity, told stores & commemorated significant events. For example, quilts with certain patterns or hung outside in certain ways, were used to direct slaves to freedom.
