Background Following the footsteps of those from the American Civil War and both World Wars, quiltmakers during the Cold War made quilts related to the conflict. Conceived in the early 80s, it began with one quilt expressing solidarity with Soviet women against nuclear proliferation and believed that they were a less abrasive way to encourage peace and piece together alienated societies.Peace and Protest|World Quilts: The American Story
