What Is An Art Quilt

An Art Quilt is a piece of highly collectible artwork. It is not designed for use on a bed like a traditional quilt; it is meant to be hung on the wall like a painting, and like a painting or other work of art, the design may be abstract, representational, or figurative.

Artists using fiber as their medium may dye, paint, cut, tear, or fuse the fabric or other fibers as part of their work. They may embellish it with beads, buttons, photos, or found objects. Hand-stitching, embroidery, or machine-quilting also gives the work a dimensional interest that mere paint cannot.
