Gee\'s Bend quilting is a tradition of quilt-making that originated in the isolated African-American community of Gee\'s Bend, Alabama. Gee\'s Bend quilts are known for their bold geometric patterns, improvisational designs, and use of recycled materials.The quilting tradition in Gee\'s Bend dates back to the 19th century, when enslaved women began piecing together scraps of fabric to make quilts for their families. These quilts were often made from recycled materials, such as feed sacks, work clothes, and even flour bags. After the Civil War, the women of Gee\'s Bend continued to quilt, and their quilts began to gain recognition for their unique style. In the 1960s, the Freedom Quilting Bee was established to help the women of Gee\'s Bend sell their quilts and gain economic independence.
