From the author: The United States Copyright Act with the inclusion of the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 ("VARA") gives sculptors, painters, and photographers a bundle of rights that include the moral rights of attribution and integrity. However, the artistic efforts of artists who create quilts, whether the original purpose was to hang the quilt on the wall or to provide warmth and comfort on a bed, are not included in VARA due to the exclusion of applied art from VARA. This Comment contends that the congressional intent to protect the highly personal connection artists have to their creations supports extending the rights of attribution and integrity to quilt artists.
