Annie E. Pettway (1904–1972), "Flying Geese" variation, c. 1935
Cotton and wool, 86 x 71 in.; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Museum purchase and gift of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation
The fundamental geometries of Gee's Bend quilts shine in works made with single repeating patches: triangles, squares, diamonds, and hexagons. Among these primary shapes, massed triangles produce the most striking effects of movement and contrast—a goal for many quiltmakers.
These images show the entirety of the quilts, including their handmade edges, against a white background.
