We're continuing our celebration of #GoTellItattheQuiltShow 's big anniversary with an incredible quilt from Bangladesh in the collection of the International Quilt Study Center and Museum, shared by curator Marin Hanson.

One of the reasons why we love Go Tell It is that interviews don't have to be about a quilt you made--it can be a quilt you were given, a quilt you bought, a family quilt... or any other quilt you love! We would have never known the incredible details that Marin shares about this quilt if we just encountered it hanging on a wall, so we're so grateful to have this "inside scoop" in the form of a Go Tell It!
As quilter Edyta Sitar says in her 2015 Quilters' S.O.S.- Save Our Stories interview (watch it here: youtu.be/3gOR416OhLA), "a quilter is a person who knows how to share." Great to hear about a young person channeling that same sense of gratitude and giving in his community.
