Texas Quilt Museum Mural
Quilts...History in the Making,™ is a 13 x 85 foot outdoor mural depicting traditional 19th century quilts, the foundation of all of today’s varied quilt art. These 15 quilts are in the International Quilt Festival Collection, and are featured in the book Celebrate Great Quilts! by the Museum’s co-founders.
The mural was designed by Austin artist Duana Gill and painted by noted Texas muralist Brent McCarthy. It’s the focal point of the Museum garden, and its centerpiece is the Founders Star quilt, emblem of the Museum.
