Botanical Quilts

Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 9:00a to 5:00p
Charleston Museum Charleston, SC

One of the most stunning quilt-making techniques, broderie perse or chintz appliqué, consisted of fabulous floral and botanical printed fabrics imported from India, England and Europe. The quilt was made by cutting up these luxurious textiles and then reapplying the motifs to a larger fabric, carefully stitching around each element. Botanical Quilts examines the many different botanically inspired quilts that graced the beds of Lowcountry residents throughout the 19th century.
