I agree!! I really thought society had outgrown this nonsense. Apparently not. Other than that, the quilts were great.

I'm in awe of all the beautiful quilts that everyone makes. There are many talented people in the world and I'm so glad that I get to see some of the quilts that they make.

Ladies I am so sorry that this beautifuly made treasure of history has offened you. Having grown up here in the south and had family who were Quaker and were a part of the under ground railroad I find nothing offensive about this quit. I deplictis a period of our history in America. The workman ship is beautiful and I am sure that the person who made it, made it as a tribute to a dear friend or as a gift to a friend. Or perhaps a lady of color made it for her own family to use, many ladies of color were the best seamstress in this country. Are we to be offened by their work ? I appologize to anyone offended by this quilt but I will not remove it from this post because whom ever made it, for what ever reason the workmanship is beautiful.

Excuse me I made a reference to ladies of color .... if I have offened anyone with that statement I appologize also ... I just used the term used by my family and friends who are African American or as I like to think of them Americans!
