Quilting for Remembrance Day
Quilts have a long history of being used for commemorative purposes. Throughout history, people have turned to quilting as a way to honor and remember important events and individuals. One of the most notable uses of quilts for commemoration is during wartime. During times of conflict, quilts were often made to honor soldiers and their sacrifices. These quilts would feature patriotic designs, such as flags or military symbols, and would often include the names of soldiers or their regiments.
