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.

Is there a bias in the way the history of quilting is told?
Yes, there is often bias in the way the history of quilting is told, typically favoring narratives that highlight Western perspectives and overlook the contributions of marginalized groups, particularly women of color. Traditional quilting histories frequently celebrate mainstream techniques and styles, while the cultural significance and diverse practices of quilting in different communities, such as African American or Indigenous quilters, may be underrepresented or ignored. This selective storytelling can perpetuate a narrow view of quilting's heritage and significance, failing to acknowledge its rich, multifaceted history.
What are the properties for quilting?
