Turns out the quilt is the perfect test case for a dozen theories about what makes art, well\u2026art. Take the art vs. craft debate: As a domestic object made by women for a practical purpose, the quilt falls squarely into the &#8216;craft&#8217; category, and a humble one, at that. But do some quilts become \u2018art\u2019 when exhibited, like paintings, on a museum wall? Which ones? The plot thickens when we consider the claims of \u2018art quilts\u2019 made solely for exhibition. Are they art\u2013not craft\u2013just because their makers say they are, and how do we know, anyway? Who knew that it takes a soft cover to define a tough concept?
