Quilts



Today I was at the High Museum of Art. I always see something new, but today I saw these really awesome African quilts. Click here for the High. Then I remembered seeing a quilt at my uncle's house this weekend that I really liked. Then I realized I love quilts. Quilts involve so much work, creativity and convey a piece of the person who made them. The best example of quilts as art are the quilts of Gee's Bend. These are quilts made by ladies from Alabama (woowoo) and they make these amazingly artistic pieces that are all over the country in museums. It's great for L.A. (lower Alabama) and great for culture in general. Click here for just a few of the quilts.
