I found the photo of the William and Mary wall mosaic at the National Gallery in London on Flickr with a creative commons license. Still, I decided to contact the photographer Matt from London, who replied, "I'd be delighted for you to include the photo on the quilt. Thanks for asking."
My mind jumped to London because Eliza's husband was British, and the lack of child custody rights for women were similar in England and the United States. I added the George Washington stamp print - a free-to-use internet image - for Eliza's step-grandfather. The beautiful striated green fabric is another hand-dye by Vicki Welsh.
I took a photo of the group of blocks today.
I'm pleased with how the greens and yellows work together, and with the mix of bright and subdued prints.

The blocks are playing together very nicely. And the personal touches are very creative. Gosh, how different some of these look when you swing them round on point.
Looking great!
The greens and yellows look great and I love that center medallion for this block.
When you told me you were using brights AND subdued, I was skeptical, but you knew what you were doing!! It is beautiful together so far...I really like it!
The blocks play together very nicely and I love your creativity.
Wow, love the way those blocks look together and the photo medallion is perfect. Haven't read blogs in a couple of weeks, so had a lot of fun reading your Colorstorm and basket posts. I love baskets, so can't wait to see what you do with that one.
