Created by Wilcox County artist Tinnie Pettway, this quilt titled Edge of the Night measures 28 x 30 inches and reflects the deep and moody tones of the night sky. The front features predominantly dark colors and thoughtfully composed with areas of visible hand stitching that highlight the artist’s craftsmanship and tradition.
The back of the quilt reveals a contrasting design of blue flowers set against a red background, adding an unexpected layer of color and visual interest. Hand written details on the reverse include the artist’s name, the quilt’s title, its size, “Gee’s Bend, AL,” and the year it was made, offering authenticity and a personal connection to its origin.
