Members of the Nebraska Quilt Project (NQP) committee, the group who organized the documentation effort that eventually led to Nebraska Quilts and Quiltmakers, made this quilt in the 1990s to commemorate their effort and friendship. They were inspired by a Crazy quilt made by young woman Edith Withers Meyers between 1894 and 1898, documenting her life on a homestead in western Nebraska. The makers of this contemporary quilt viewed it as a sequel to the original, using a similar format with sayings, dates, and rich embroidery. The quilt features each project member’s name, along with a portrait of the entire NQP committee.
