Abstract:
Paul Green, native of Harnett County and Pulitzer Prize winner, turned eighty-five on March 17, 1979. To honor him, his assistant, Rhoda Wynn, gave him a quilt made of nine squares. Each square was made by a person connected with the dramas Green has written. The quilt hangs in Green's home library.\r\n

The 1960s saw a resurgence of interest in quilting, a tradition that has never faded from the Appalachian Mountains. The patchwork quilt is strictly a product of colonial America, and has spurred an interest in collecting quilts as a hobby. Not limited to the South, quilt enthusiasts can view collections all over the country.\r\n

Abstract:
A fading art kept alive yet by quilters such as Mrs. Charlotte Balance. Tales told by Mrs. Nettie Gibson revealed changes in quilting standards. Decades ago, the summer and winter quilting parties noted by Mrs. Ballance made it a commonly collective activity. The experience, then, was quite different from the common contemporary practice of quilting as a solo project.
