Study Quilts on Exhibit 

The purpose of the Quilt Study is for members to replicate, either exactly, or as an interpretation, a quilt of a particular style or period. In this way, members can learn from the textile the history, techniques, and perhaps something of the person who made the original.

The Quilt Study began in 2000 with chintz quilts and has continued biennially with crib quilts, two-color quilts, and pre-1840 bed-coverings. Greta VanDenBerg-Nestle and Georgia Chiarella coordinate the Quilt Studies.

AQSG’s 2010 Quilt Study of Star Quilts were received and displayed in Minnesota at AQSG’s 31st Annual Seminar. Following Seminar, 25 of the study quilts were selected to travel as a group to various venues for exhibition representing AQSG.
