Pink Fusion, c. 1930 by Sara Morgan

Often referred to as the “Renaissance of Quilting, the 1930s brought a great quilt revival, a result of the hard times of The Great Depression. All across America, activities devoted to the home arts became popular. Quilting groups, shows and newspaper gained popularity, bringing women from California to New England together around their quilting frames. Eleanor Roosevelt's campaign for American Arts and Crafts further helped propel quilting to the forefront of activity. Although times were tough for Americans, quilts of this era were usually bright and cheerful.

The new trends from the textile companies were novelty prints and cute calicos. Colors were bright and cheerful. Pinks were more popular than ever - light pinks, dark pinks, pastel pinks. And with the flowers, geometrics, and conversational motifs – women were quilting up a storm!  Both fabric and quilt patterns were commercialized and mass merchandised. Quilt patterns appeared in local newspapers and sales catalogs. Designers were hired to add a “modern” look to fabrics and patterns often found in the mail-order catalogs - another popular fad at that time.
