Art quilting

Art quilting is a form of textile art that combines traditional quilting techniques with creative expression. Unlike traditional quilts, which are often functional or utilitarian, art quilts are made primarily for aesthetic purposes. They can incorporate a variety of materials, colors, and techniques, including painting, dyeing, and mixed media. Artists often use quilts to convey themes, stories, or emotions, transforming fabric into a canvas that reflects personal or cultural narratives. Art quilting is celebrated in exhibitions and galleries, showcasing the artistic potential of textiles and pushing the boundaries of conventional quilting.
