This quilt is one that I recently finished. It is a block of the month quilt that my local quilt shop did in 2010 from the book, Women of Influence: 12 Leaders of the Suffrage Movement, by Sarah Maxwell & Dolores Smith.
Each block represents a different woman from history. It was a lot of fun to make but obviously took me about a year to complete it. My appliqued blocks need a little more work, but it was fun to do them. They are done using needle turning. After I finished all the blocks, my husband had some schooling to do so I took the material and finished the top in a motel room. Not the best idea because this blanket is huge! It is a large King sized quilt. I had it machine quilted by a lady named Micah. She did a fabulous job! Now all I have to do is to decide for sure what to do with the finished project!
