Combining collage, fine appliqué, and fine quilting, broderie perse, also known as cut-out chintz appliqué, presents a high point in the art of quilting and deserves the admiration and attention of all who appreciate fine needlework. The technique emerged in the late eighteenth century when chintz fabrics were very expensive and only the very wealthy could afford whole cloth bed coverings made from large pieces of chintz. By cutting motifs out of a small amount of fabric, the quilter could rearrange them onto a large field of inexpensive plain cotton to imitate the designs on larger fabrics. Plain cream or white fields filled by fine quilting surround the trees, floral sprays, wreaths, urns, birds, and baskets appliquéd with tiny whip, buttonhole, or reverse buttonhole stitches. The style, which was very popular in the Middle Atlantic States and the South into the 1840s, largely disappeared after the 1850s.

A trunk show showcasing the work to date of noted quilt artist Barbara W. Barber, author of Broderie Perse: The Elegant Quilt. Says Barber of her multifaceted work: "I am drawn to many quilt techniques. My theory is; apply whatever technique is available to produce, in fabric, the idea, picture, dream, that I have within. Thus my quilts run the gamut from exquisite broderie perse and time consuming productions to the instant gratification of fusible web. Of late, I have added painted quilts to my repertoire. My quilts are large, small, humorous, reverent, irreverent, and reveal much more about me than I'd like to admit. As I share the quilts, so also will I share their stories; every quilt has one! Come and see for yourself."
