Quilt making is a traditional art form that blends artistry with craft and function. Quilts represent significant hours of labor and often became heirlooms, passed through generations of family. Quilts: The Artistry of Home showcases a selection of quilts from the Michigan State University Collection that were made during the early 20th century, with a focus on the era of the Great Depression.

Quilt Discovery Day – Saturday, July 20 | 11 AM – 2 PM
Register your quilt with the MSU Quilt Index! Forms will be available online prior to the event. Representatives from the MSU Quilt Index will be at the museum to assist in completing the forms.
