Thanks, Dorinda, for making me to know the history of something that I have started to love since the moment I saw for the first time a Quilt. English is not my mother language so I do appreciate to understand every single word you speak thanks to your phonetically perfect English pronunciation

That's not so. My ancestors were in this country long before there were slaves, and they brought quilting skills with them from Europe. It may be that "suffering blacks, " made quilts, but they learned it from people who were already in America since colonial America.
