Well we all do learn something new every day. I had never heard of them, but when i looked at the quilt in the link, it was absolutely gorgeous and stunning, and had no idea why anyone was against it, until i read that there is a bad history with them. Perhaps it's just the name golly, but i absolutely love ethnic quilts, and this one is very beautiful, with no bad connatations in the characters themselves, i thought they were all very beautiful. So i guess i can see for those of us that didnt know, i learneed something today too. I think it would be ok to make a quilt with dif ethnics in it though, as a beautiful thing...but now im glad i learned something too.
