I love quilts and have made a few. My goal is take another quilting class. This link is to the Gee's Bend quilts which have an interesting history. It wasnt until the 60s that certain people were able to show their art in Alabama, and this included quilts. The reason? The color of their skin.

These quilts are amazing and I have spent time searching for more information. A video with women from Gee's Bend, AL talking about the quilts.
