Loretta Pettway (b. 1942), "Log Cabin"—"Courthouse Steps" (Local Name: "Bricklayer") single-block variation, c. 1970
An oft mentioned design triumph of the Gee's Bend aesthetic has been its quiltmaker's magnification of small pattern blocks to monumental scale, so that the single element becomes the entire composition, as here in Loretta Pettway's c. 1970 "Bricklayer" quilt.
These images show the entirety of the quilts, including their handmade edges, against a white background.
