Quilts Matter and so Does this Series

This video series is fascinating and informative. Although it is a bit pricey, I still think it is well worth the cost. The series provides a nice history of quilt making and styles. My only complaint is that the video did not include enough cons on the Gee's Bend quilts. I would like to have seen a more balanced view of these quilts; The presentation here was heavy on the positive with not enough reasons why the quilts should be considered so positively and few reasons or clarifications given for why the quilts shouldn't be seen so positively. Otherwise, this is a great series. Even my husband, who does not quilt, enjoyed the series greatly. Read more
