Elegant Geometry: American and British Mosaic Patchwork

At the International Quilt Study Center and Museum, Lincoln, Nebraska - Elegant Geometry: American and British Mosaic Patchwork

Mosaic quilts are eye-dazzling textiles made from thousands of precisely-shaped fabrics formed with the use of templates. The technique was used in the British Isles as early as the 1700s and also became popular in other parts of Europe, as well as in British colonies, including America. This exhibition will trace the development of the style and present 20 stunning examples of an exacting and time-consuming art.

This sounds very interesting. Anyone going?
