thanks for posting this link. i love the gee's bend quilt history and have wanted to make at least pne of their quilts.

I have the pattern for the Strips & Strings - a quilt for which the pattern was available but I don't think they made a kit. The quilt below is a adaption of this pattern to oversize it. The back side (with the black border) was made from some left over scraps. I actually like the back better than the front!

GORGEOUS! Both sides. Absolutely stunning.
Did you choose your own solids? Were they from the Gee's Bend collection?

LDB

I used the Gee's Bend fabrics. They are a slightly mottled solid of great quality. I must say, it is interesting to review photos of quilts you have made. I find them much more appealing and, if I say so myself, impressive than I recalled! Perhaps I will borrow this and enter it in a show. If Jared will part with it temporarily.

I ordered the one on the right! Love the bright colors and contemporary look. The shipping was only, I thrink, $5.95. Thanks for the link!

Met some of the ladies of Gees Bend at the Sisters Quilt show last year -- they were lovely to chat with. Their quilt styles aren't really my thing, but I truly admire their work...its an art form. Debated buying a couple of the kits anyway, but I have way too much on my plate already....I won't live long enough to get half of it done!
