I had wanted to work on a quilt using Gee's Bend Quilts as inspiration. I like the improvisation look of the quilts made by these incredible women.
The crosses are not quilted, so I am hoping that after it is washed that they will stand out more. The other thing I must tell the wedding couple - use this quilt. Quilts are made to be used and loved. I will be sadly disappointed if after a few years it doesn't show signs of wear. Fading and frayed edges tell me that is was not folded carefully and stored in a drawer. It's ok for the cats to sleep on it.
