Quilts & patterns from the Center for Virtual Appalachia

I hope you'll enjoy this virtual display of Appalachian quilt collections. You can browse all of the blocks and then download most of the patterns as a printable PDF if you’d like to add some of them to your collection.

I couldn't create a quilt if my life depended upon it but the American quilt is a sorely underappreciated art form. How could anyone look at these masterworks and not appreciate them not only for their craft and art but for their place in our national culture and history?
