This is the third installment in our series on Future Directions for the Quilt Index.

Both user statistics and survey responses indicate a groundbreaking opportunity for internationalization of the Quilt Index. Quilt collections exist in many countries, with particularly strong collections and interests found in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Italy and Japan, as well fascinating collections in many other countries, including South Africa and New Zealand. A collaborative planning proposal is in development for internationalizing the Quilt Index.

For more information on international quilt documentation projects and collections, see our wiki portal, QI International.
