2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This circa-1940 quilt came into the collection as part of a donation from the Kansas Quilt Project. Made in Nickerson, Kansas, it utilizes bright pieces of fabric to create the "Joseph's Coat" pattern, sometimes also called "Orange Peel" or "Mosaic Window."
