"""Morgan lets Wells tell her story without intruding, while deftly critiquing her work within that storyline. . . . She is the narrator, as she is of all her quilts, but Morgan amplifies her meaning, delving deeper into the symbolism for the benefit of the viewer. It is a very effective partnership."" --Gail Andrews Trechsel, coauthor of Southern Quilts: A New View"
