This is a book about an amazing quilt exhibit by the same name at The Old State House Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Amazon's Book Description:
Arkansas is well known for its rich tradition of upland folk arts. Little, however, has been reported from the lowland areas, particularly on African American contributions to the state's cultural heritage. A Piece of My Soul: Quilts by Black Arkansans seeks to rectify that oversight by drawing attention to the extensive, important collection of African American quilts in the Old State House Museum in Little Rock.
All I can add to this description is, "WOW!"
Not only are there stunning photographs of quilts, there is the wonderful history behind them. Why did the quilter choose that fabric? How was it used and by whom? What an inspirational collection!
What books inspire you?

As a quilter, this book is very appealing to me. I have my great grandmother's quilt, which is one of my most treasured possessions.
