The climax of Walker's story comes very close to the end. Dee has asked for the quilts that have been in the family, and Maggie has indicated she is willing to relinquish them. At that moment, though, their mother reverses the way things have been throughout their lives and gives Maggie the precious/common symbols of their heritage. This means the world to her, shows that the family is not willing to let Dee walk over them forever, and rocks Dee back on her heels. That's definitely the climax of the story, which Walker wraps up almost immediately thereafter.
