We worked closely with the Gee’s Bend Foundation to re-create these works of American art. Each of our quilts is a close replica of the original piece, hand quilted using the same technique, similar fabrics and the same dimensions – an approximate Queen size. The women of Gee’s Bend, Alabama have developed a distinctive, bold, and sophisticated quilting style based on traditional American and African American quilts. The quiltmakers have passed their skills and aesthetic down through at least six generations to the present. The Quilts of Gee’s Bend have been exhibited in major museums throughout the world, garnering tremendous acclaim. The original Basket Weave Quilt was crafted communally, with the face pieced by one quilter with a singular artistic vision. We worked closely with the Gee’s Bend Foundation to re-create this work of American art. This quilt, crafted in 1943 by Polly Bennett (1922–2003), is particularly notable for its subtle blend of many different solid colors.
