The IQSC Museum is the steward of the world's largest collection of quilts. From 16th century French quilts to a series from the 1971 Whitney Biennial, the IQSC wanted to make its archive accessible to the public. On-site interactives with online counterparts were created to immerse visitors into the culture and history of quilting. The Collection Explorer provides a robust search filter to navigate the collection, along with "My Collection", a personal account allowing users to collect, organize, comment and publish quilts. How to Make a Quilt takes visitors through the process step by step and allows them to share their creation. Quilt Stories encourages visitors to browse personal anecdotes and record their own in an on-site recording booth. The Quilt Timeline blends quilts, artifacts and historical content from the museum into a rich interactive timeline.
