Quilt Credits Question

Oct 26, 2006 3 Replies

Do all who have a part in creating a quilt get equal billing on the label? Think art quilt: an original pieced design which requires original quilting. Do you think of quilts as collaborative art/craft or does one aspect of the design carry more weight?



(Equal font size for A, B, and C) Quilt title Designed and pieced by A Quilted by B Painted fabric by C Date



Or



(Larger font size for A, smaller for B and C) Quilt title By A Quilted by B Painted fabric by C Date


My goodness, Betsy, what a question. The answers depend on so many things. I rarely have a collaborator but am always delighted to give her equal billing. She takes my quilts that are nice and turns them into wonderful. Polly

Depends. Normally, I'd say equal billing for all parts of the project. But maybe one person did all the designing and most of the construction, and the others carried out her design plan, so she could have her name listed twice, or listed first. Personally wouldn't choose a larger font, but I'm open to persuasion. The main thing is to give proper credit. Roberta in D

I have put the name of the quilter in the same size the two times someone else did the quilting (wish I could afford it to be done more often!)
