LECTURE Infinite Variety: A History of Red and White Quilts Thursday, October 6, 20116 – 7 p.m. Pillsbury Auditorium Lecturer: Elizabeth Warren.
Red-and-white has been a classic color scheme for American quilts since the early nineteenth century. Warren will discuss its popularity and the different kinds of quilts that employ it, including geometric pieced quilts, traditional appliqué and "snowflake" appliqué quilts, "fund-raisers," including Red Cross quilts, and embroidered quilts. See photographs and discover background information about the "Infinite Variety" exhibition of 651 red-and-white quilts at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City this past spring. Warren is an independent curator and trustee of the American Folk Art Museum in New York.
