Name this quilt pattern! UC Davis professor Dr. Patricia Turner recently emailed me...
"African-American quilts sometimes show up in unlikely places. In the 2005 film Hustle and Flow, a dingy worn quilt is used to buffer noise in the make-shift recording studio used to record "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp." I'm not enough of an authority on motifs to determine if the quilt is in a recognizable pattern or if it could be described as an improvisational strip quilt. Does anyone recognize the motif? Thanks, and if you know of any other references to quilts in hip-hop culture, please respond to the blog or to paturner@ucdavis.edu" Do leave a comment if you recognize the quilt pattern! Thanks!
