The main traditions of this art have arisen among the American immigrants. In the seventies a patchwork and a stitch have endured the Renaissance in the USA. At first it was fashionable to copy traditional patterns, forms and colors of quilts. Now the specialized shops offer a set of the most various materiat, books and magazines on this equipment. Besides and stitches are devoted to a subject of a patchwork exhibitions, circles are created and specialized shops open.
In Europe this art has turned into a popular hobby too. Patterns are improved, change or formed anew. Presently, thanks to the huge choice of materials, paints, forms and new technologies, in this art form it is possible to realize the creative imaginations without effort. If earlier scrappy quilts were a simplicity sign if not poverty of an interior, then now the patchwork and a kilt have turned into a peculiar art form. Especially beautiful works — impressing on a variety and originality of materials, forms, structures and color combinations — can be hung up on walls as pictures or carpets.
