Patchwork Heritage Quilt Shows Patriotic Pride through Tradition
Since the days of old when our ancestors were crossing the ocean in order to immigrate to the new world, American quilting tradition has been evolving. Women from every country contributed ideas, patterns and styles that eventually combined into one basic American style of quilting that was totally unique and strikingly attractive. This style came to be known as patchwork.
Before the industrial revolution fabric was prohibitively expensive. Cost was almost always the deciding factor of what style, color, quality of fabrics and pattern would be used in the making of the quilt. All pre industrial revolution homes came equipped with a scrap bag. As fabric was such a precious commodity, every bit was saved. Homes almost never bought fabrics with the sole purpose of quilting in mind. Scraps were always use, hence the creation of the patchwork quilt.
Patchwork quilts reflect our nation's economic and political times. When our country was new and the industrial revolution had yet to take place, quilting patters were haphazard. As our nation grew and prospered, patterns became recognizable. With time patterns grew to become incredibly intricate. Soon, women began making statements through quilting. Red, white and blues appeared in quilts during war time to show patriotic pride.
When westward expansion took place women began creating state quilts. Eventually, quilts began to reflect political preferences, major life events and economic times. When our country unionized and labor laws were enacted, many women showed their support by sewing together red, white and blue patches in incredibly intricate patterns. American flag patterns are popular during times of political strife, low economic times and war.
Today quilting has tapered off as a national pastime for women. While quilting is not as popular as it once was, quilts themselves are more highly valued than ever. Many of us can appreciate the tradition and heritage of the American patchwork quilt. Recently, a new patriotic commemorative quilt was created to help Americans in need. The Patchwork Heritage quilt is part of a buy one, give one program being implemented by the Blanket America charitable organization to provide warm blankets for the needy. To find out more, visit quilt.
The Patchwork Heritage Collection shows patriotic American pride while bringing back old American traditions. Blanket America is implementing a buy one, give one charity, where proceeds from the sale of the Patchwork Heritage quilts buy one new fleece blanket to be donated to charity.

Help with yearbook art contest!?
Okay, so I have one week to finish and amazing piece of before the dedline. The contest is to create a piece of artwork that reflects the school and it's beliefs and stuff. It has to eb in full color and will be judged in creativity, unique design, and positive representation of the school.
So far I've sketched out what I want, I'm having the schools mascot standing center holding a quilted flag that has smaller versions of the the flags of our schools nasionalities. The center of the flag says Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much -Helen Keller
Now, I have all that, but I need a background. And that's where I get stuck. I know that at the top, side or bottom I will be putting in the schools name, but what should I do with the rest of the space? A globe, children holding hands, etc....? Our schools theme is international in case that helps
Please and thanks for your answers!
