Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts

Inspired by "Feed Sacks: An American Fairytale," in the West Gallery, Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild members have created modern versions of vintage quilts using a variety of recovered, repurposed, or reclaimed materials. Textiles from denim to livestock feed bags to used clothing and everything in between are given new life in the upcycled creations.
