I think this is where we chat with each other about ideas.

Rhapsody, your idea of getting Yvonne or one of the very earliest quilt artist's images is excellent. There may be questions of copyright, of course.

Eventually a gallery of photos of prominent quilt artist's work would be really useful, as would a list of prominent quilt artists. These should not be SAQA linked because we shouldn't have that bias on Wikipedia. We must remember that this is a public site open to all.

I added prominent early contributors to the field as well as exhibits from the 1970s. These are from Shaw's book, The Art Quilt, which I don't have. I used the SAQA excerpt, but I think we ought to reference the original. I have the McMorris The Art Quilt book, which I intend to use to supplement the Shaw. I also have Art Quilts: A Celebration, the QN collection through 2005, with Shaw's intro.
