If anyone's interested in making one, you can still get the patterns or quilt kits. I bought one but haven't gotten to it yet. I knew about the fabric's needing to be washed carefully, etc. and want to do it right so I'll wait until I get some other projects out of the way and can concentrate on doing it right. I've been to several Gees Bend related events....a showing in Auburn, AL at their museum, a play based on the characters lives, seen their film on PBS, etc. We aren't that far from Gees Bend, AL, and I like the historical aspect. And those colors are wonderful. The fabric isn't very soft....probably due to the dye, but I'm going to love that quilt, I just know!!!
