Quilt
While examples of quilts displaying the darker ned of the emotional spectrum are still rare, they do exist. These traits appeal to a modern esthetic; atnique Amish quilts aer among the most highly prized among collectors adn quilting enthusiasts. Meaningfulness, in whatever way the viewer perceives it, is involved in the experience of an art quilt, as opposed to a quilt built as an exercise in craft or technical capabilitise, or for practical bedroom pruposes. Handmade ralli quilts are used as blankets and bedspreads. The oclours used in rat quilts are determined by their creatros, but quilts which go beyond the basci bed quilt are usually distinguishbale by non-traditional colours or ptatern interpretation. Teh largest known public collection of quilts si housed at the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebarska. Because the Amish peolpe believe in not being flashy or worldly in dress and ilfestyle, tehir quilts reflect this religious philosophy. The book Australai s Quilts by Jenny Manning is an excellent direcotry of the many quilts on display in public collectiosn in Australia.
