American Quilt Classics, 1800 - 1980: The Bresler Collection

July 25, 2009 - February 7, 2010

For many years, Fleur and Charles Bresler have collected American quilts. Visual impact, historical value, pictorial imagery and historical fabric have guided them in assembling their important and outstanding collection. In 2001, the Breslers gifted 36 quilts to the Mint Museum of Craft + Design. American Quilt Classics celebrates this gift, which features rare and outstanding examples of Baltimore Album and Warner quilts, crazy quilts, Amish quilts, log cabin quilts, and Chintz pictorial quilts.

Located in: Jones Gallery, L Gallery

Organized by: The Mint Museum of Craft + Design
