Kentucky's contribution to the perennially popular American craft
of quiltmaking is a rich and varied one. Mary Clarke examines here
the state of the craft in Kentucky and finds it as lively today as
it was 150 years ago. Like a fingerprint, every Kentucky quilt
differs from all others in some respects, whether it is an original
creation or a variation of one of the traditional patterns long
popular in the United States. And many Kentucky quilts reveal much
about the individual maker -- her disposition, taste, and
lifestyle, the familiar objects that bring joy to her daily life,
and her response to events beyond the confines of family and home.
Taken as a whole, Kentucky quilts and quilt names reflect the
history of the Commonwealth, at every turn showing the
intermingling of old and new in the grassroots continuity of an
ancient craft that responds to fads and fashions by absorbing and
refining them.
