American Quilts
Patchwork Heritage Quilt Reflects Current Times
American quilting tradition has always included a reflection of current events, whether it is in the maker's personal life or the nation as a whole. Quilting has been a past time and necessity of women for hundred of years. As immigrants made their way from their old countries to the new world, their traditions of quilting followed them. Eventually, these separate styles and traditions melded together and eventually evolved to form a new American tradition: patchwork quilts.
Historians and collectors alike can track American political and economic histories through quilts. Fabric types, colors and patterns can tell us whether or not the nation was prosperous and whether or not there was a strong political movement the maker was involved in. before the industrial revolution changed fabric production, every scrap was precious. All homes had a scrap bag. It is believed that this is how patchwork pieces used for quilts came about.
In the beginning, patchwork was haphazard in design. Most times quilt were sewn together with no real pattern, only warmth, in mind. Soon, though, different patterns evolved. Life events, such as marriages and births, were recorded with the needle. Landscapes and gardens, family traditions, holidays and even states were celebrated described in quilts, much like hieroglyphs or murals described events and stories for other cultures. Political events, such as presidencies, wars, and unionization were commemorated with quilts. Before women's suffrage gave women the right to vote, quilts were their political platform.
Styles in red, white and blue, much like the Patchwork Heritage quilts used today were sewn in celebration of political pride. Most people think of quilts as just bed coverings. But to so many before us, they were a way to make a strong and lasting statement. In fact, the words spoken hundreds of years ago through quilts are still heard today.
The Patchwork Heritage quilt created by Blanket America is carrying on the tradition of America's commemorative statement quilt. 13 fabrics represent our 13 original colonies. Barak Obama's presidential inaugural address is printed on the background with the words "we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness" highlighted. The Patchwork Heritage quilt is part of a buy one, give one charitable project with a goal of helping one million American poor get a new, warm blanket this year. To learn more visit poor.

why is it called the 1995 movie "how to make an american quilt"?
i havent watched the movie yet...this is my assignment for tommorow..pls i need somebody's help..the question i need to answer is why is named the movie "how to make an american quilt". Can you give me reactions regarding the movie..thank you!!!!
How to Make an American Quilt...It was about these ladies in a quilting bee who is making a quilt for Phinn's(wynona ryder) Wedding. She travels to her Grandma's, who is making the quilt with her old lady friends, so that she can finish her paper for graduate school. While she is there she listens to all these old ladies stories about when they were young and when they fell in love, etc. I think it was named How to Make an American Quilt because while these ladies were sewing together patches for a quilt, they bonded together as woman from all different walks of life. It gives a little history of what was happening in America in each story and how times have changed, yet situations of love remain pretty much the same. The movie was really nice because of the emotion each story brought to the film.
