I have met some of the Gee's Bend quilters. They are unique in that they use old clothing, exclusively. I am making a quilt in the style that they use which is called "Housetop," I'm not using old clothing (didn't have enough laying around), but I did include an embroidered - dresser scarf on the back that my mother made years ago, and I added some remnants that were given to me, and remnants from my granddaughter's sorority dress that I made.
