This block is very different from that one. I chose to print my own fabric from a letter my grandmother wrote to my mother in her second semester at college in February, 1946. I tinted the photocopy green - the letter was written in pencil.
I cut my fabric to make sure the signature will show on the quilt The inspiration for the choice of block was England's National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. Their colors were red and white. I chose the floral print with it's orangey-red as my nod to the theme.

I love that you printed the letter fabric!
Very beautiful and thoughtful block Cheryl. Are you imagining your blocks set on point or square? I love that center fabric too. What a range of styles of fabric you have used this week but they play together very well. A gorgeous result.
Looks so different than the Civil War block...wouldn't really think of them as the same, if you didn't point it out! Love seeing grandma's handwriting...what a great idea! Hope Dana appreciates it as much as I!
GREAT publish and impressive in turn …will bear a try all the tips..Thanks……
