It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
— Maya Angelou
I’m a little late for the celebration of Martin Luther King day, but I’ve been concerned about our moving away from from diversity and inclusiveness for a long time. This newest quilt celebrates for me the diversity and inclusiveness that we all need to recognize and work toward.
The background fabric is a large map of the world. The overlaid design (a celtic Waldalgeheim pattern circa 500o-350 BC variation) is reversed appliqued onto the map. the four immediated edges to the quilt are small seminole pieced designs, blending world and American ideas.
The quilt is 55 X 63 inches. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted.
My hope is to see the peoples of the world supporting and loving each other, instead of dividing into us vs. them!
