I have found several patterns online but all seemed to be more complicated than I wanted--or used paper piecing--so here is my version.
Finished size with 1 3/4 cut sashing: 7 by 7 3/4 inches (7 1/2 by 8 1/4 inches with seam allowances)
NOTE: my layout picture is with the arrow point section too big--I took the photograph while making an earlier version that did not fit together and forgot to take a pictures as I made the final version.
Cut from blue:
two 2 inch squares
one 2 by 7 inch strip
Cut from white:
two 2 inch squares
one 1 1/4 by 7 inch strip
Cut from red
one 2 by 3 1/2 inch rectangle
one 2 3/4 inch strip, then use Companion Angle to cut a goose shape.
Sew together blue and white strips and press to the blue.
Use EZ angle and with the white in the longer (bottom) side, cut at 2 3/4 inches. You need to cut two of them and will have an extra large goose shape for another project.
from 1 3/4 inch strips
two 5 inch rectangles
two 8 1/4 inch rectangles
This block uses the colors in Hillary's logo. I plan to make more blocks in all different solid colors.
My pattern of a logo--not too sure on copyright with this.
Use at your pleasure and your risk!
Nancy in Philadelphia has more ideas on how to make it:

I like to see political quilts from the past (Tippecanoe and Tyler Too) and hope Hillary quilts are studied many years from now!
Wonderful to pass to a daughter. A symbol of strength and perseverance.
ReplyDeleteAttractive block, though I am surprised to see a church woman supporting abortion. 699,000 per year v 614,000 for second largest cause of death heat disease. Verification
ReplyDeleteGinette, I appreciate your thoughts but want you to be aware there is nuance to this issue. I would prefer to have this conversation in private email but you are set for no-mail on blogger.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link that has some of my thoughts.
"The two biggest indicators a woman will have an abortion are that she is poor (75% of women who have abortions make less than $23,000 and half make less than $11,000), and had an unintended pregnancy (half of U.S. pregnancies are unintended, and 43% end in abortion).
Want to guess which political party is more effective at reducing poverty and unwanted pregnancies? I'll give you a hint. It's not the "pro-life" Party that in this last Congressional session alone fought to cut medical care for poor mothers and children, food programs for kids, and contraception coverage and access for women."
