quilt frame

A mother and daughter hand-wash a 100-year-old quilt in order to restore and preserve it. The quilt was made by the filmmaker’s great-grandmother, who hand-stitched together old chicken-feed bags and other leftover materials. The film serves as a documentation of the quilt's preservation, while also attempting to investigate the provenance of the material.
