I love these wonderful works of art and have even seen some on display here in Toronto. I also have a great book about African-American quilting that discusses how and whether some of the aesthetic sense and even particular motifs are descended from West African traditional textile making. Very, very interesting area.

In response to Gee's Bend quilts posted by SarahBHood:

I can only agree! A huge museum hit, I predict more folk art will be featured in blockbuster museum shows as it becomes more acceptable to feature non-fine art in a museum setting.
