Please keep going and let each block speak to you as you've done with these first 4.....
DebbE took the words right out of my mouth! I haven't seen this sort of pattern before, but I have lived in various parts of the world and know that women, especially mothers, of good will are the same everywhere. You don't need words, mother to mother (or in my case, now, grandmother to mother), only smiles and perhaps a touch. I don't want to sound political, but the truth is, we all have similar needs and concerns. Your 4 blocks bring back a lot of memories and I actually yearn for you to finish that quilt and post it. Sofireno, pm me when you do, so I can't possibly miss it!
Actually, if you could keep going with some enthusiasm, I think it should be just the squares of the women, the world would be understood because of the pictures. How big are the pictures? If they are at least 6"x larger they will stand on their own. 8"xtaller would be even better. This is such a beautiful beginning!
