SUMMARY- There were 397 quilts in this exhibition, and they were given to representatives of all the teams that came to the Georgia Olympic Games in 1996. Wow. I can't even begin to imagine how many hours must have gone into this amazing gesture. I'm glad they documented it so well in this gallery book. I'm not sure why they also included 4 patterns, but just consider them a bonus.
