Provenance: Quilting in America originated with English and Dutch settlers, when quilts served a utilitarian purpose as a bed cover or to hang over doors and windows for insulation. Quilting was often done in groups, which allowed the craft to be passed along from generation to generation within a community. Quilters sewed stories about the world around them into their quilts, such as pinwheels to represent the prairie winds and stars to represent the night sky. With the invention of the sewing machine and as commercially woven fabrics became more available, quilts became more complex and elaborate, transforming from a daily necessity into a form of artistic expression and a decorative medium.
