Oh, Francesca, I am not sure I can describe it. It was a gigantic quilt without backing, with raw threads hanging everywhere, as if the maker completely disregarded the notion craftsmanship... It was a stunning, intense warm yellow and upon it a tangle of giant black snakes... I cannot describe the feeling of raw power, energy, that emanated from this quilt. It was over a hundred years old. I found out that it was quilted by an African-American woman in Louisiana, who lived alone and was known as a witch.
