About last year or so I saw on PBS's Antique's Road Show two people who brought in an actual quilt made by slaves. I've always wonder, since I'm sure they didn't sell it, where it's on display. Do you know? I love your site and the quilt books selections and am your new follower. -Haupi

Haupi,
Thanks for visiting the Black Threads blog - glad you enjoy it. For the quilts on the Antique's Road show, they are likely in private collections. The show is one of my favorites.
I love the idea of teaching young girls to quilt. Beautiful post. Thanks for sharing.
