U&U is full of a "freer, more casual, utilitarian aesthetic"

January 28, 2015 Roderick Kiracofe

Unconventional & Unexpected received a beautiful review in Hali:

“Collected by renowned quilt authority and collector Roderick Kiracofe via eBay, flea markets, estate sales and other sources, they represent a 20th-century quilt movement that remains mostly undocumented.”

Nifty Quilts: falling in love, U&U inspiration

October 9, 2014 Roderick Kiracofe

Thank you to Nifty Quilts for your beautiful blog post this morning. It's exciting to hear about how so many quiltmakers have been inspired by quilts in Unconventional & Unexpected to make one based on a certain quilt or to just be "more free and unrestricted" with their own quilts. The quilt Nifty Quilts is making is inspired from page 56.

“There’s a tiny sliver of red and white. How’d that get in there?
Did I really put a scrap of bark cloth in this? I like it!

Now I really don’t care how the quilt looks overall.
It’s the stories, the connections to sweet friends,
the memories of the design process that matter.

I’m sure we’ve all experienced this.
It’s one of the greatest joys of quilt-making—
working closely with our fabrics and remembering the stories behind them.”
— Nifty Quilts

She writes about her process so poetically.
