My Second Small Suffrage Quilt

This is my second small suffrage quilt in the travelling display.  When I got done with the first one I got to wondering when did other countries give women the vote?  The dates and names of the countries are listed vertically on the left and right of the quilt.  Four early 20th century political cartoons (two for suffrage and two against) are in the center of the quilt.  And yes, I did correct the slightly tilted strip piecing in the center of the quilt.

In America, the colors of the movement were sunflower gold, white and purple; in Britain it was green, white and purple.

This display of 36 small suffrage quilts is presently (until October 17, 2020) at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY.  After the 17th they will be shipped to the Winona County Historical Museum in Winona, MN for display November through December.  They will be at the Quilters Hall of Fame and the Missouri Quilt Museum next summer.  We are still working on other display venues for 2021.  If you would like to know where they will be displayed in 2021 you can visit the Dakota County Star Quilters website (www.dcsq.org).
