This quilt block was sewn by members of the Northeast District Homemaker’s Cultural Arts Committee. Quilting is one of Mississippi’s many art forms. Quilts are produced by people from different communities across the state. The tradition of quilting is associated with family and friendship. Quilt patterns tell a story and document the history of the communities where they are made and are passed on to future generations.
