I've developed a real appreciation for these quilts and their makers :thumbup: :thumbup:
The Gee's Bend Quilts shown are not from the 1800's, they date from 1930s - on. The earliest quilt in the group is about 1935, and the majority were made in the 1950s, 60s & 70s. Most of the GB quilt makers were born between 1920-1950. :)
