American Quilts of Patriotism and Political Commentary

Sikarskie, Amanda Grace

2011

The quilts represented in this essay survey three centuries of American political life, spanning from quilts celebrating the birth of the Republic to quilts reacting to the events of September 11, 2001. The meanings and visual rhetoric of these quilts were shaped by wars, presidents and policies, new contacts with other cultures, innovations in design and technology, and changing social relations. Through all of these changes, women (and men) in America have given voice to their patriotism and political views through quilts.
