@historicembroidery: Grace Snyder made this quilt in 1942-3 and in 1944 it won Best in Show at the Nebraska State Fair! It’s currently on display in the “State Fairs: Growing American Craft” exhibition at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum Yes I did just make two little videos in a row about Grace Snyder’s quilt I just can’t help myself!!!

Good grief. What do you even do with the seam allowances at this scale.

Is this the final boss of quilting? Oh my goodness! It’s beautiful! It also looks like an exercise in insanity.

And it's not that she did it, or that she designed it, but there was no TV back then, or internet and maybe there were films done on colour but it was just Her. And her incredible creativity. Fabulous!
