Art Quilt

An art quilt is a unique piece of textile art that combines traditional quilting techniques with artistic expression. Unlike standard quilts, which are primarily functional, art quilts are created to be hung on walls and appreciated as visual art. They often feature innovative designs, colors, and textures, using various materials beyond fabric, such as beads, paint, or found objects. Artists may explore themes, emotions, or narratives through their quilts, making each piece a personal expression. Art quilts can be both beautiful and thought-provoking, reflecting the artist's creativity and the rich tradition of quilting.
