Question

[Dee (Wangero) is still admiring the quilts, but the narrator explains that she has promised them to Maggie as a wedding present.] 

She gasped like a bee had stung her. 


“Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts!” she said. “She’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use.” . . . 
[The narrator exclaims that she hopes Maggie will use the quilts. No one has used them all this time that she has saved them. She also remembers that Dee (Wangero) had once told her that the quilts were old-fashioned and that she didn’t want to take one to college with her.] 
“But they’re  priceless! ” she was saying now, furiously; for she has a temper. “Maggie would put them on the bed and in five years they’d be in rags. Less than that!” . . .
