Question: i have an writing assignment about these movie and i need to know if anyone knows what the quilt in the movie symbolizes and how it impacted the womans lives????

Answer: Many times generations would add onto the quilt, like a bit of Grandma's wedding dress, or great-grandma's handstitched handkerchief. The women would draw strength from these quilts and the memories steeped in them. It helped them in their hard lives when they moved away from family, or a family member died. It was a way of remembereing them.
