Use & ornament : an exploration of the improv quilt

Use & ornament An exploration of the improv quilt

Nicholas Ball

Book - 2024

"Improv quilting is not new . It has a rich and varied history that inspires exploration. These quilts have long been more than objects of utility. They can give voice to political protest, memorialise a lost loved one, be a cathartic outlet, and still hold their own against works realised in more recognised fine art media. They are historical documents and family keepsakes, existing within a duality of 'Use & Ornament'."--
