Voice 1: Some people who make quilts today also include imperfections. They make an imperfect square of cloth on a quilt. The person may use a colour that does not appear in other areas of the quilt. They call this imperfect square of cloth a "humility square." Historians say that Puritans started the tradition of "humility squares". The Puritans were some of the first Christians to settle in America. Including a "humilty scquare" is similar to the mistakes in oriental rugs. These imperfections show a person's imperfections. The person making the quilt includes this "humility square" to show their imperfection. They make sure to show that only God is perfect.

声音1:如今,有些制作被子的人仍会纳入不完美元素。他们会在被子上放一块不完美的方形布料。制作者可能会添加一种在被子上其他区域未出现过的颜色。他们称这种不完美的方布为“谦虚方形”。历史学家表示,清教徒开创了“谦卑方形”的传统。清教徒是首批在美国定居的基督徒。加入“谦虚方形”类似于东方地毯上的错误。这些缺陷代表的是人们的缺点。人们制作包括“谦虚方形”的被子来显示自已的不完美。他们要确保只有上帝是完美的。
