About the Artwork

Martha Pettway (1911–2005), "Housetop" variation (detail), 1930s

Cotton, 84 x 74 in.; Souls Grown Deep Foundation

Martha Pettway was one of the most important quilters in Gee's Bend in the early twentieth century. Unlike other quilters in the area, she carefully preserved her favorite quilts from her young childbearing days (c. 1928-35).

about the collection

Here the focus is on the inherent design elements and abstract imagery in the quilts rather than as finished objects.
