Quilting African American Women's History: Our… by Carolyn Mazloomi

This book is powerful visual presentation of art quilts by women of color. There are several moving introductions followed by each quilter's interpretation of their work. As I tried to look for my favorite quilt, it was easier just to call this my favorite book.
