Rose Kretsinger is considered one of the twentieth century’s master quiltmakers. She studied the old quilts at the University of Kansas Art Museum, believing new commercial trends produced quilts she called “tiresome.” She may have borrowed her composition from the antique Princess Feather quilt, modifying the elements of bowknot and swag to more conventional proportions. Because the quilts here inspired Rose, her daughter donated 15 of her mother’s quilts to the museum.
