I am not a quilter. The only categories I’ve set up so far on this site are:
- Traditional Blocks
- Applique
- Hand quilted
- Machine quilted
Are there other categories you’d like to see? It’s easy to look through the quilts now, with just a few on the site, but once there are 200 of them it might be good to have more categories. How do quilters describe different quilt genres?
Your mom had her own style and probably didn’t hit all of the possible categories in the quilt world, but she did many, and did them well. It might be helpful for you, in the sorting, to go to one of the major quilt show entry forms (say, IQA at quilts.com or one of the AQS shows at Americanquilter.com) and look at their categories. Admittedly, it generally boggles the mind to try and find the appropriate spot, but eventually, we all settle on one for the form. I’m glad you are making the effort to do this. I’m sure she would be so pleased.
