A Century of Quilts: America in Cloth

Buy This Item A Century of Quilts: America in Cloth by PBS (Direct)  Available from Amazon  $21.99  on 11-26-2008     Reader Reviews A century of quilts is about a team of quilters who gathered together to select and assemble the 100 best quilts of the 20th century. The artists are discussed briefly, and their quilts and techniques are showcased. I admit, I prefer more traditional piecing. Most of the quilts shown in the exhibits were way too modern for my tastes. I would really have liked to have seen more quilts from the depression era, more quilts with blocks, and traditional piecing methods. Also the vast majority of quilts are appliqued. I just am not into applique that much. The quilts, showcased towards the ends in which people paint on quilts, and in which quilts are designed to look like photos just don't resonate with me. This video didn't enthuse me. It is short (1 hour), and seemed to feature way too many modern artists. I would've liked to see more traditional quilts which were functional as well as beautiful.
