The "Digital Quilt" from
Beaufort, South Carolina

"We chose the Baptist church. We chose it because it is culture. It is an old church. It is very big. A lot of people go there to worship. That is why we chose it."

"We chose the Beaufort sign because it is the entry sign to Beaufort. Also because we live in Beaufort. We chose it because it is unique. There is only one Beaufort. That is why we chose to put the Beaufort Welcome sign in our digital quilt."

"We got a picture of a sweet grass basket, because of the Gullah culture. Gullahs make a lot of them. Gullahs make a lot of things by hand. It will be a big help for our quilt."

"We got a picture of the synagogue. It is like one of the very only synagogues still standing. Jewish people go to church there. It looks very cool. It will look great on the digital quilt."
