The Delaware Quilt Documentation Project is a collaborative effort between the Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies; at the University of Delaware, and the Delaware State Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs to record information on the quilts currently residing in Delaware that were made before World War II and the quiltmakers who created them. The project is designed to document the rich tradition of quiltmaking in the state of Delaware and to help preserve its legacy for future generations. The documentation is being held at the Air Mobility Command Museum on the grounds of the Delaware Air Force Base in Dover. The organizers welcome the participation of any interested quilt enthusiast who would like to become involved with the documentation. The information gathered will be submitted to The Quilt Index, a national data base on quilts maintained by The Alliance for American Quilts.
