One could argue that every quilt I make could be a Black History Month quilt. However, some of my quilts represent my personal slant on quilt history.

Baltimore Album quilts have a special place in quilt history. My quilt Uncommon Legacy is my twist on that history. Historical patterns on a black background in bright colors provide a little insight on how I see the world — bright, vibrant and possible.
