What is an art quilt?

If you take a look at the art quilts that I post in this blog and on my web site (www.salume.org), then you are familiar with at least a couple types of art quilts. And you already know more about art quilts than most other people.

But if you'd like to know more, then you can also read up on the history of art quilting. This article was written by Robert Shaw, who has also written one of the most complete books about this topic:

The Studio Arts Quilt Association is dedicated to expanding awareness about art quilts around the world. You can learn about the organization's origins here:
