Which excerpt from "Everyday Use" best infers the value that Momma places on the quilts? "She can always make some more," I said. "These old things was just done by me and Big Dee from some tops your grandma pieced before she died." "God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!" "I promised to give them quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas."

Prior to Dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that - everyday objects. She took no special notice of any of them. However, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. She is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.
