Amy is hosting another Blogger's Quilt Festival - a fantastic on-line quilt show that takes place twice each year.My second entry this year is New Jersey which I am entering it into the Large quilt category.
The blocks from this quilt all came from Barbara Brackman's Votes for Women quilt along. (I was thrilled to see my quilt posted on Barbara Brackman's blog as one of the finished tops.)
The quilt was dedicated to my two grandmothers - Anita and Gladys - who lived in New Jersey. I made my label with Spoonflower to record their names and year they were born. I also made this quilt in honor of my two girls - the oldest of which recently turned 18 and is excited by the opportunity to vote. My mom found this quilt under her Christmas tree this year. I've 6 sisters so as the mom of 7 girls, I couldn't think of a better home for New Jersey.
My blog post has list out all the names of the blocks. A few made it onto the back of the quilt as well.
Thanks for stopping by. Make sure you make time to look at all the quilts in the festival.
Happy Stitching!
