Days after the Met Gala, an Instagram user, Sarah (books_n_babies) took to her page to share photos of her great grandmother's quilt alongside a photo of the rapper in a similar design.
“So, my great grandmother’s quilt was donated to an antique/thrift store a while back.When I saw the Met Gala photo, I realized instantly that it had to be the same quilt.
“I read the Vogue article about the designer finding the quilt in southern California and with his office not that far from us in Venice, California, I demanded that my mom go look for the photos of it on our old bed.”

In a follow-up post, Sarah explained that she didn't make the first post to accuse anyone of stealing, neither was she demanding money for her great grandma's quilt.
In her words:
"I am only posting this because I wanted to clarify that we aren’t accusing anyone of stealing this and we don’t want money. I posted this because I found it amazing that something that my great grandmother made out of love for my mother, to be used to keep her warm, and was donated so that it might keep somebody else warm or sold to raise funds for a lovely charity, ended up being used for an amazing statement art piece by amazingly talented people who took it to the next level."
