The latest exhibit at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska opens today and is ready for all to see. The exhibit, "Chinese Quilts Today​", showcases "the ways in which quiltmaking is a thriving, growing, and changing art form in modern China." See photos from the museum showing off the installation of the latest exhibit, and find out more about this fascinating portion of quilting history.

From the International Quilt Museum:

"For centuries, Chinese artisans have employed quilting, piecing, and appliqué to create and embellish textiles. Often, these techniques have been used to produce useful objects, such as clothing and bedding. In the past, sewing was generally a largely practical affair (though often also beautiful), or it was performed by ladies of leisure. Recently, however, Chinese artists and hobbyists—people of all classes and backgrounds—have started to make American-style quilts as a pastime and form of personal expression. While the techniques and formats resemble contemporary quilts made all over the world, Chinese quiltmakers infuse their work with distinctly Chinese design elements and cultural references. Made to be seen on a wall rather than on a bed, the quilts in “Chinese Quilts Today” showcase the ways in which quiltmaking is a thriving, growing, and changing art form in modern China."

Chinese Quilts Today is on display in the Gottsch Gallery at International Quilt Museum​in Lincoln, Nebraska from June 20, 2025 through December 13, 2025.
