A colorful introduction to a uniquely American subject."

* Booklist *
A celebration of fellowship and ingenuity...Rubin traces the quilters’ history alongside their struggle for civil rights and a steadily improving quality of life. * Publishers Weekly *

Lush photographs of people and places accompany the text; especially beautiful are the many pictures
of quilts, ranging from the modest and plain to the boldly colorful.

* The Horn Book *
...the vibrant quilts and their proud creators are beautifully photographed, and the text is free of any trace of condescension that often accompanies discussion of folk art. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
