Quilt art, sometimes known as art quilting, mixed media art quilts or fiber art quilts,[1][2] is an art form that uses both modern and traditional quilting techniques to create art objects. Practitioners of quilt art create it based on their experiences, imagery, and ideas, rather than traditional patterns.[3] Quilt art is typically hung or mounted.
