Like different classes of quilting, I see material collage as an artwork kind. However in contrast to our “grandmother’s quilts” that have been meant to additionally perform as a mattress quilt, the collage quilts I’m speaking about want a wall for show functions—like my 14 inch sq. “Bindi Sol” (above), stretched over picket stretcher bars.

From the normal quilt-show sleeve to framing underneath glass, there’s an answer that matches the scale and form of your material collage quilt. Smaller quilts—reminiscent of a number of the fish quilts created by means of my Quilter’s Fantastical Trophy Fish shows (see eWorkshop under)—could profit from a special remedy than a large-scale wall hanging, for instance.
See the assorted strategies I’ve employed to show material artwork on this week’s following Throwback Thursday submit.
