Quilts
Martha Pettway (1911–2005), "Half Squares" quilt back (close-up detail 3), 1930s
Cotton, 80 x 73 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).
The backs of Gee’s Bend quilts from the early 20th century were commonly made from used feed, flour, and sugar sacks.
