Really Craft When You was written for the Bang on a Can Allstars for their Field Recordings Project. In it, a recording plays that includes Library of Congress archival recordings from the 1970’s of quilters from North Carolina and Virginia. As the quilters discuss quilting patterns, the ensemble members play their own patterns. Shaw says in the performance notes that, “You can stick to your pattern exactly, or you can change it up. Up to you.”
