Ken Burns is putting his quilt collection on exhibition

The New York Times

The PBS documentarian has been collecting quilts for more than four decades, and 28 of them will be on display for the first time as part of the “Uncovered: The Ken Burns Collection”  at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. “A quilt greets you on many levels,” he says. “It has its stunning initial design, and that draws you into it — established patterns like a crazy quilt or a log cabin quilt. I’m less interested in that than in just how beautifully they’ve realized that.”
