Frauenrechtequilt: Women's Rights Quilt

Regina from Germany has sent photos of her two pieced samplers
made from a Block of the Week I designed about 5 years ago.

Mary Britton's label

Grandmother's Choice had 36 blocks chosen for their relationship to women's right to vote and a separate blog address:

Regina has created a website for German quilters to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women's voting rights in Germany in 2018 with an index to each pattern.


Her Layout

She also has a blog with her progress on her two quilts:

Regina did two versions

Thanks to Regina for translating my stories and for doing the website with index. And congratulations on the German Centennial.

That has to be great to see these quilts, even several years after the sewalong. I always say great quilts cannot be rushed!

What a surprise to see my quilt ("Mary Martha's") on your posting. You probably found it on the Mary and Martha Tours blog site. It was completed in 2014 and I used only William Morris fabrics, most all of them from the British fabric company, Rose and Hubble. I named it "William Meets Barbara". Our tours in England included many William Morris sites. I recommend The William Morris Gallery in London to anyone interested in William Morris. Check out their web site if you can't visit in person.
Cheers, Martha
