<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is much symbolism in the color and fabric choices. She wanted to represent the time period 1875-1920 when the fight for the vote was at its most intense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
She combined "William Morris prints, art nouveau, art deco, a collection of fabrics called Valley of the Kings to represent the archaeology going on at the time.... a damask fabric to represent all the damask
tablecloths women have had to iron over the years, and the black framing is to
represent the tracery in the stained glass that is so representative of the era,"</span><br />

I've been posting weekly here for a year but I'm going to turn my attention to two new free online projects. I know some of you are working on finishing your tops for <i>Grandmother's Choice</i> and when I find finished tops I'll post them here on an irregular basis. You might want to subscribe to email posts so you get the new posts in your email box.</div>

And because so many of you like the challenge of a Block of the Week I am working on a new 36-week sampler quilt called <i>An Austen Family Album</i>, which will include pieced blocks for Jane Austen's friends, relations and others who shaped her world. I'm reading about the Austen family and late Georgian and Regency England to add historical context. I've always been confused about things like the difference between a guinea and a pound, what an entailment entails and just where Hants is. You British readers will be amused by an American's attempt to explain it all for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I plan to start posting the <i>Austen Album</i> blocks in the first week of April, 2014 and will do a weekly post on Sundays throughout the rest of 2014.</div>

Gerry Krueger is making a spectacular crazy quilt on the theme of Women's Suffrage.<br />
<br />
It has nothing to do with the <i>Grandmother's Choice Sampler</i> but I thought you'd be impressed.<br />
<br />
She's printed some of the many online photos of the fight for the women's rights and embellished them in late- Victorian-style.<br />

I chose to do this Block of the Week on Women's Rights in the year 2013 because 1913, a century ago, was such an active period in the fight. That last year before the first World War promised so much.<br />

She's calling it <i>New Jersey</i> where her grandmothers lived. She used 36 blocks.<br />

She's had it quilted in a fan pattern which</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
looks very Modern/Art Deco (another one of those</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her color scheme and white set and border</div>

Some people like to applique. Some don't. Leonie likes it so much she made four of the Heroine's Crown blocks for the corners and added a central applique from Jo Morton's book <i>Prairie Flowers Encore</i>. Using the same flowers she designed an appliqued floral vine border.<br />

Sisters ColvinKiwi and KayelleKiwi worked on the Grandmother's Choice blocks together although CK lived in the U.S. and KK in New Zealand. The internet and Skype made collaboration across the Pacific possible.<br />

It gave the two of us something to share (often using skype) despite the fact that she lived in New Zealand and I live in the USA.</span><br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">On Friday Oct 25 when I arrived in NZ she asked me if I would please make the borders for her quilt top and then get it to the longarm quilter as she wanted it to be a Christmas gift for a family member. I am immensely grateful that I was able to do this before I came home again. </span><br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">A special thank you goes to Dawn Copp the longarm quilter who quilted and machine stitched on the binding for me within a 36 hour period so I could see it was almost done before I had to come home. It is now with our non-quilter sister to do the final handstitching of the binding and label.</span><br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: #fefefe; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Quiltmaking is a great form of therapy and I know my sister got a lot of joy out of reading your comments about her blocks. Maybe you'll think of her when you see a flash of lime green paired with black."</span></span><br />

<i>Grandmother's Choice Sampler</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>by Georgann Eglinski</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Georgann's finished her sampler and she says she has too many quilts. So we are auctioning off this red and white quilt to raise money for women's health issues. You may recall she made the red and white sample blocks for the<i> </i>block-of-the-week blog here. We thought this would be a good end to the historical journey we took through the fight for women's rights.</div>

Georgann used the same speckled red print in every block contrasted with a plain white cotton.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She made 36 blocks, 8" square.</div>

You may have noticed Vicki's blocks on our Flickr page. She's been making two sets. Because today is Vicki Welsh day on two of my blogs she was motivated to finish the tops she's been working on.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">"Through the process I also figured out the names. While working on them I figured out that each one really reflected the personality of my grandmothers. The symmetry one will be called Jackie's Choice and the shibori one will be called Lura's Choice." </span><br />
