COLORADO QUILTING COUNCIL
Documentation
CQC has been documenting quilts in the state of Colorado since 1985. With data on over 16,700 quilts to date, the Documentation Committee is currently transcribing these documentations from paper forms into a digital database that will be available to quilters, quilt owners, students, and researchers worldwide. We are working with Quilt Index to upload this data as quickly as possible.
At a documentation day, oral/written history of the quilt maker, quilt owner, and detailed analysis of each quilt (maker information, layout, construction, quilting, for example) is recorded. A fabric label with a unique registry number is assigned by the Colorado Quilting Council for each quilt documented. This label is affixed to the back of the quilt by the quilt owner. Once this label is sewn onto the quilt, future owners will be able to access information about the quilt by contacting the CQC Documentation Committee, and in the near future, the Quilt Index.
Documentation days are being scheduled for the near future. Check back here for upcoming dates. If you are scheduled to attend a documentation day, please complete the owner portion of the form below prior to attending the event. The fillable PDF form, once completed by the owner, can be returned via email to the documentation committee.
