FALL
UNCONVENTI ONAL
& UNEXPECTED
American Quilts Below the Radar
19502000
BY RODERICK KIRACOFE
Unconventional & Unexpected is a stunning
collection of nearly 150 eccentric, maverick,
and extraordinary quilts made in the US
during the second half of the 20th century,
plus essays to contextualize them contrib-
uted by artists, curators, and other quilt
experts. Collected by renowned quilt
authority Roderick Kiracofe, they represent
a 20th-century quilt movement that has
been mostly undocumenteduntil now.
Unlike the familiar quilts that replicate
traditional patterns of earlier centuries,
these surprising textiles represent a freer,
more casual, utilitarian style that departs
from (and returns to) a multitude of
norms and standards.
