Cotton, 84 x 69 in.; Brooklyn Museum, Gift of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation
Within the simple concept of squares within squares, Gee’s Bend quiltmakers exercise their individual design abilities to produce an extraordinary variety of solutions. Lucy T. Pettway’s precise “Housetop” quilts demonstrate her aesthetic interests in technique and problem-solving.
These images show the entirety of the quilts, including their handmade edges, against a white background.
