Fabulous Quilt Exhibitions (No:12) | African American Quilts | International Quilt Museum Nebraska

A stunning Quilt Exhibition from the International Quilt Museum Nebraska. African-American quilts are a significant segment of quilt history. They reflect the diverse traditions that merge to form our American quilt heritage.  For twenty years, Dr. Robert Cargo, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, championed self-taught artists, especially African-American quilt makers from his home state. In 2000, the International Quilt Museum acquired a portion of his collection, which spans the twentieth century and represents locales all over Alabama, including urban areas such as Birmingham, rural areas like Greene County, and now-famous communities such as Gee’s Bend. Curator Carolyn Ducey gives us a guided tour of the quilts shown at The Festival of Quilts 2022.
