Unconventional & Unexpected, 2nd Edition by Roderick Kiracofe

Famed quilt collector Roderick Kiracofe's popular classic book on offbeat quilts, now updated with 20 additional never-before-seen quilts, and a new introduction by curator and quilt scholar Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi.

Roderick Kiracofe’s sumptuous hardcover book of 150 offbeat quilts became an instant classic when it was first published in 2014, inspiring a nation of quilt makers and fine artists. The book’s unforgettable quilts (largely made by anonymous quilters in the American South) and essays by leading curators and industry personalities (Amelia Peck, Kaffe Fassett, Denyse Schmidt) eventually went out of print—until now.

In a copublishing venture with Quiltfolk, the long-overdue updated 2nd edition of this beloved book is here with a new introduction by internationally lauded author and curator Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, and 20 additional never-before-seen quilts from Kiracofe’s private collection.

At long last, this second edition of Unconventional & Unexpected is available again to audiences clamoring for its return.
