* MERGE: Its totally mergeable, probably verbatim.  The Quilt article will improve and be more interesting.  Removal of the Art quilt article, and redirection to Quilt, will not suffer readership.  --SFDan 05:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging of Art quilt article 

message: Nowadays the meaning of Quilt has gotten rather blurred. As I learned it, a Quilt is two pieces of fabric with batting between them secured by sewing through all layers in a pattern. If you knot or tie it's not a Quilt, even if the top is pieced or appliqued. The term Quilt refers to the technique of sewing, not to the item. Quilted Comforter or Quilted Spread would be a more exact description, as would Knotted or Tied Comforter.  Still, the term has gotten so blurry that it's no good trying to fix things. "Aids Quilt" is easier to say that Aids Memorial Fabric Artwork.--Saxophobia 18:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quilting vs Knotting or Tying. 

message: I thought that the Quilt National and QuiltArt links were good balances for the other links in that they have galleries of contemporary, often non-traditional quilts which demonstrate some of what is happening in the "art quilt" world.  In addition, the QuiltArt pages contain galleries of individual artists' works and a long-standing archive of messages from an active community.
I guess I don't understand the presence of the Vermont Quilt Festival but not the International Quilt Festival or other large quilt shows in the UK or Japan (the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival for example has about 250K visitors at recent shows). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mbquilts (talk • contribs) 18:07, 8 October 2006.
:You are right, there isn't really a good reason to have the Vermont Quilt Festival link either - I've removed it. We've still got rather too many external links here - see WP:EL for guidelines. It is not correct to include links to sites that happen to be related to quilts and quilting. Idealy, as much information as possible should be included in the article, but it is valid to include links to material that can't be incorporated for copyright reasons, or which provide useful, non-commercial further reading or background that goes beyond the appropriate scope of an encyclopedia article. -- Solipsist 18:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Art Quilt Links 

message: I have tagged this section for cleanup of external links. A few issues:
*the persons listed should meet notability requirements
*links within the body of an article should be internal (wikipedia) links; external website links belong in an External links section
*articles should not contain links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services
See WP:LINKS for further info. Maralia 03:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: List of people in quilting

message: This says: "Quilts focused on the September 11, 2001 attacks have particularly explored grief and anger". Without being insensitive, I can't for the life of me see how a quilt can do this. I can get how a poem or a piece of drama, or even a painting, might convey these sorts of emotions, but sewn-together patches of fabric in an abstract pattern? Can this section be expanded to explain how these quilts manage to do this? As it is, it just sounds like pseudish, artsy nonsense. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 17:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For anyone who wants to take on the task of expanding the section, this book would be a good resource, documenting a special exhibition at IQF in Houston. Neale's reaction shows why a major expansion of the Art Quilt section is in order, if someone thinks a painting can convey something a quilt can't. :) --Fabrictramp 18:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Emotions section

message: Shouldn't that section be removed with the  added to the top of the techniques section? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quilting techniques 

message: I will add a section I just added to Quilting. I may be removed there because quilting involves sewing. So, the section will exist at both articles for a while, and removed from one by those who know best (not me). Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: China section

message: Why and where does this article need to be cleaned up? How should it be cleaned up? Hyacinth (talk) 07:24, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The sections are kind of wonky. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:15, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

text: I was surprised to not see footnotes, though I'm newish to WP. And I wondered, shouldn't techniques include ordinary piecing, too? Tlqk56 (talk) 14:54, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
