Colonial revival quilts on display The quilt exhibition "Perfecting the Past: The Colonial Revival and Quilts" will be on view through Sept. 1 at the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery.

The Robert Hillestad Gallery is located on the second floor of the Home Economics Building. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays from June 3 through Aug. 26.
