P.S. Would love to see pics.
There's a very famous, absolutely magnificent, slave quilt. If I can find a picture on line I'll post it. I have the magazine article w/picture but cannot figure out how to scan into computer.
Many of the quilts made by Southern slaves were made for the plantation mistresses .
