Black Girls’ Joy Quilt

People sometimes ask about our process. We started the Black Girls’ Joy quilt by ordering a lot of the great pink and brown and girl power fabric. The tour’s logo is in the center (puffed out). Then we cut and sewed the fabrics in a “Lazy Gal” quilt pattern. We sewed the top in Washoe Valley, Nevada. Fannie Pearl Etheridge and her granddaughter Kimani are shown quilting the top and bottom together in Alberta, Alabama. Fannie presented the Joy Quilt to LaTosha Brown of Black Voters Matter in Selma, Alabama.
