When my friend and I went to Gee's Bend to see the quilts, I was very surprised at the simplicity of the quilts and how the measurements did not match "to perfection" as we try to do. However, I feel that the primitive nature of the designs added to the charm. I was also impressed at the high prices.

These are a few pictures we took while we were down there. The visit took place when John McCain was running for president and we were told that he had paid $15,000 for a full size quilt. I do know that they were charging $100 to $150 for a small baby quilt. It was quite interesting. The people were very friendly. One lady invited us to visit her home where we had a nice, friendly visit.
