Patterns, colors, textures and design. Quilts have always captured one\u2019s visual imagination, so it\u2019s no surprise that quilters have flocked to Pinterest in a big way, swapping ideas and imagery for their next project or purchase.<\/p>\n

At Why Quilts Matter<\/em> we\u2019re a visual bunch as well. When we put the series together we knew imagery would be an important part of the documentary and we worked hard to collect both historical images and modern works of quilts. At the end of the day we collected more than 3,000 images and included close to 600 in the series – so many we needed to create an Image Resource Guide<\/a> so people could follow along and find out the story behind each image.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to announce that we\u2019re extending these images in a Pinterest friendly way – previously images from the series were only available in pdf format – as Image Resource Galleries<\/a>. We\u2019ll roll out images an episode at a time, so keep checking back with us to see what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/a>First up are images from Episode 1: Quilts 101 \u2013 Antique and Contemporary Quilts<\/a>, a good mix of old and new photos. Below are some of our favorite images from the episode. Be sure to tell us which images inspire you by pinning them on your boards. We hope you enjoy pinning these images as much as we did collecting them and follow us on Pinterest<\/a>!<\/p>\n
