Week 25 - The Carrie Nation Quilt

I think if I've seen this block before, it was called a Double Four-Patch, so we're always learning something new. Carrie Nation was an interesting character - perhaps being six feet tall automatically made her a center of attention which pushed her to her boldness? It is interesting to learn that the alcohol industry lobbied to keep women from getting the vote because they knew so many would support prohibition.

This block is very simple, but it was difficult for me to choose fabrics for it. Somehow, it just didn't lend itself to fussy cutting with the fabrics I have to work with, so it was hard to make it special. I decided to base my choices on the fresh green circles print, perhaps because I'm looking forward to spring. The other prints I picked for variety of scale and texture.
