Gee's Bend Quilts Postage Stamps

Found this over at Decor 8. This is my second post on quilting for this week, but this deserves a mention as well. The United States Postal Service is issuing stamps honoring the quilts of Gee's Bend, AL. Like it was mentioned on Decor 8, these would look great framed. decor8: Stamps: Gee's Bend Quilts The history of the Gee's Bend Quilts is really interesting. These quilt designs were passed down through generations from the 1800s and art critics have compared these quilts to the works of Henri Matisse and Paul Klee.
