====Pictorial quilts====
Pictorial quilts often contain one-of-a-kind patterns and imagery. Instead of bringing together fabric in an abstract or patterned design, they use pieces of fabric to create objects on the quilt, resulting in a picture-based quilt. They were often made collaboratively as a fundraising effort. However, some pictorial quilts were individually created and tell a narrative through the images on the quilt. Some pictorial quilts consist of many squares, sometimes made by multiple people, while others have imagery that uses the entirety of quilt. Pictorial quilts were created in the United States, as well as in England and Ireland, beginning as early as 1795.<ref>{{cite web|title=Collections: Browse Objects: Pictorial Quilt|url=http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/51526/Pictorial_Quilt/set/?referring-q=quilt#|publisher=Brooklyn Museum|access-date=May 20, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Brooklyn Museum: Shop|url=http://shop.brooklynmuseum.org/worktbyhand.html|publisher=Brooklyn Museum|access-date=May 20, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140523005154/http://shop.brooklynmuseum.org/worktbyhand.html|archive-date=May 23, 2014}}</ref>
