Sisters Choice

This block was the name given to a challenge, issued to all QGBI members of region 13 for this year’s Quiltfest. You could choose to enter either traditional or contemporary categories and sizes were restricted. The piece below was my 24″ x 24″ entry, based on concurrent news stories about so-called ‘Honour killings’ in the UK and the treatment of women in some ‘developing’ countries. The text has been taken from pages on the United Nations pags about women’s rights.
