It can be, definitely. Machine made mass produced quilts are not usually viewed as art, but hand-made quilts, especially pieced quilts, are often works of art.

Why are quilts considered art?
Because quilting (and other needlework) has been associated throughout history with women, it was not until the advancement of the Women's Movement and Feminism of the late 19th and 20th Centuries that quilting could be recognized as a form of true art. The modern media, including color photography, well-produced magazines, and televised documentaries and classes on quilting also focused attention and appreciation on the art. The American Bicentennial celebrations in 1976 also brought significant attention to the tradition of American Quilting and was key to promoting the quilting revival.
