Agree that quilt revival started taking off in USA with American bicentennial in 1976, which revived interest in quilts themselves, learning the art of quilting, and created many historic quilting projects in towns across America. The patterns/books by Kaye Woods (TV shows started late 1980s) and Eleanor Burns (Quilt in a Day TV show first series started 1990) helped bring quilting to a bigger audience through television and further revive the craft. And don't forget Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting TV show on PBS which started in 2003 according to their website (they also had a number of books). Also, HGTV had Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson, which started at the end of 2003 and introduced many quilters and quilting styles. National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY, opened in 1991.
