Episode 55: Harriet Powers’ Pictorial Quilt (1895 - 98)

“Though it follows no known pattern of quilt-making, and though it is made of bits and pieces of worthless rags, it is obviously the work of a person of powerful imagination and deep spiritual feeling.”
— Alice Walker, on the Bible Quilt (1974)
