QUILTS.

FOR MY SECOND PROJECT I AM INTERESTED IN MAKING MY OWN QUILT. I HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH INSPIRED BY MY RESEARCH IN TO FOLK TRADITIONS AND CRAFTS (FOR MY DISSERTATION AND UNIT 10). QUILTING IS CENTURIES OLD AND A QUILT WAS OFTEN MADE AND HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE FAMILY AND ADDED TO. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF QUILTS THOUGH (BELOW) AND A PARTICULAR FAVEROUTE OF MINE AT THE MOMENT IN GRAYSON PERRY'S 'RIGHT TO LIFE' QUILT. IT HAS A TRADITIONAL FEEL BUT AT THE SAME TIME HAS PUSHED THE CONCEPT FORWARD WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER.
