You might try contacting the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City.
Also:  there was a fabulous quilt exhibition at The Oakland Museum back in
about 1981 that went a long way towards supplying  socio-historic contexts
for a bevy of absolutely stunning quilts. Sorry, I can't recall the title
of the show (and a quick survey through my own "library" didn't turn up an
exhibition catalogue), but perhaps someone at The Oakland Museum (Oakland,
CA) can help you with this. Check with the History Department there, they
were the show's organizers.
