Mama is a big boned and hard working woman. She takes on a job of a man, the though jobs. She is tough and skilled at farm work. Dee is more delicate and Mama looks at it like a difference. Dee doesn't do though work and it is because of her education in the city. Dee is a city woman and Mama a country woman. Therefore Mama wants Dee to experience farm life again so that they will have similarities.
Mama faces two main conflicts in the story. One being internal and the other external. Mama experiences external conflict when she argues with Dee, trying to convince Dee that the quilt should be Maggie's. Then the argument leads to the internal conflict of whom to give the quilt to, Maggie or Dee. The quilt is a important item in Mama's heritage which Maggie has inherited. To Dee its a important sign that shows how hard she worked. Therefore it was a very hard choice for Mama to make, also having the fact that both of them are her daughters.
