I looked to see if I had any more pictures of that quilt, but I don't. Sorry, I don't know the pattern, but it looks pretty simple to reproduce. The black background really makes it pop.

To answer some other questions - we arrived around 7:45 to set up, and there were already a lot of people wandering by. We took turns staying by the car, answering questions. By 4:00 the crowd had thinned down considerably, and around 4:30 the streets were reopened for traffic and the volunteers started taking quilts down. We started packing up and drove away around 5:00. It was hot, but not unbearable, and there was a breeze much of the day.

The ladies from Gees Bend were sitting at a table outside the Stitchin' Post (in the shade) directly across the street from us. I only have one picture showing a few of them, and none of their quilts that were hanging in front of Stitchin' Post.
