Historical AttributesGrace Miller was originally listed as the maker of the quilt. The artist called and stated that she did help to create the work but that her contribution was minimal. The artist requested that her name be removed as the maker of the quilt as the artist considered her contributions to equal approximately 5% of the total work.
