In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, printed handkerchiefs celebrating international fairs or political events sometimes formed the center of large medallion quilts. Children's handkerchiefs also appeared in crib quilts and as quilt blocks in larger quilts. Contemporary quilt artist and instructor Pat Gardner has updated this tradition in her small art quilts, each focusing on one or more of her international collection of handkerchiefs, including examples from Switzerland, Japan, Italy, France, England, and America, some of which are the work of well known designers. The range of styles available--romantic, geometric, floral, juvenile, contemporary, Art deco, Oriental, and folk art--allows for limitless themes and variations. Gardner adds modern fabrics and quilting stitches in ways that contrast and/or complement the repurposed textile. These three charming wall quilts are created from an incomplete set of handkerchiefs depicting the seasons designed by Yves Saint Laurent.
