NY, U.S. quilters come together for National Quilt Project
Fiber artists in New York and nationwide are stitching together a portrait of America. The National Quilt Project is a grassroots movement to gather quilt squares from across the country to make a single patchwork quilt. Each block depicts a piece of America in its 250th year of statehood. Mary Milne, a longtime fiber artist in Ithaca and the project’s founder, said the idea for this stems from The Ribbon , a form of textile activism in the 1980s. "This was a nationwide grassroots project where people all around the U.S. and in other countries made their own fabric panel addressing the threat of nuclear war. We tied these panels end to end, and it went around the Pentagon," Milne recounted. Milne’s project is not political but aims to bring people together at a time when the national social fabric is heavily tattered. Milne explained the project is open to all artists, not just quilters. People can make 18-by-18 squares with ties on them so they can be connected into one massive quilt. As all the quilt blocks are gathered together, they will be displayed in a final exhibition on the National Mall in 2030. Vera Bogle, an Indianapolis-based quilter
