I haven't always been interested in quilts. They seem boring at first, products of hours of labor, just to be hidden in the bottom of a box of heirlooms. However when you look closer, you can see that there is a story behind each and every one. The hours of labor are indicative of how special they are, and they are misused hidden away or denied of their true purpose-- to be a blanket. Historically, Quilts are not only meaningful as ways to commemorate moments or loved ones, but also useful as an extra layer on a cold winter night. Ideally, a metaphorical hug from a loved one when you need it most.
