Dee having taken an education and moved on to a better life only wants the quilt as a decoration. She doesn't want to sue it, she wants it to show others the process she went through to get to where she is now. So i would say that Dee is a selfish person. Maggie actually needs the quilt to sleep in and not for a decoration. Maggie is more kind and sharing. This gives a good comparison between having a city education and living on the farm. Your attitude can change a lot.
When Dee first left Mama asked if she wanted the quilt, but Dee said no. Dee aid no because she didn't want other to know her history of being brought up on a farm. She was scared that she would be laughed at and discriminated. Then when she comes back after she is successful, she suddenly wants the quilt. This time she is not ashamed of having lived on the farm but she wants to let everyone else know about it. She wants others to see her success and that she herself made it happen.
