Legacy of Quilts: The Briscoe Center's Joyce Gross Collection' Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum * A Legacy of Quilts: The Briscoe Center’s Joyce Gross Collection, on exhibit at The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum will be the first public exhibition in Austin of the Gross Collection from the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin. The exhibit spans more than 100 years of this enduring American art form and features 29 quilts made approximately between 1844 and 1950, as well as antique fabrics. Each of the quilts in this exhibit is an expression of one of America’s most beloved artistic traditions; each is a story written with fabric, needle, thread and loving hands. Included in the exhibit are award-winning quilts from the 1930s, red and green appliqué quilts that were popular in the mid-19th century, a Hawaiian flag quilt and two remarkable album quilts.
