Abstract

Motivated by our need to embrace and work with a diverse group of participants, the following inquiry explores an innovative, practical visual methodology. The creation of a quilt, when used as a social text or essay, affords the researcher a unique, practical opportunity to work collectively with participants, to gather and interpret meaningful data and display it in a manner which provides ease of dissemination to a diverse audience. Our focus in this paper is to show that the art form called quilting can be utilized as a specific mode of inquiry in social research.
