Quilt Index

The Quilt Index is an online archive that collects and preserves historic and contemporary quilts from across the United States. It serves as a digital museum, allowing people to explore detailed images, stories, and histories of quilts. By organizing these textiles, the Index helps researchers, historians, and quilt enthusiasts understand cultural traditions, regional differences, and personal stories expressed through quilting. It makes valuable quilt collections accessible to the public, supporting education and appreciation for this important craft and its role in American history.
