A commissioned quilt from renowned textile artist and designer Pauline Burbidge has found its way home to the International Quilt Museum (IQM) at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. “Big Bluestem” was made over the course of 10 months in addition to a pair of visits to Nebraska in April 2023 and September 2024. During her visits, Burbidge captured images of grasses in Nebraska's Spring Creek Prairie and Nine Mile Prairie using cyanotype printing on fabric.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at Burbidge's process in this special video from Arthouse Films.
