Block #7: Log Cabin & Sojourner Truth

Sojourner Truth was born Isabella Baumfree in 1797.  By 18 she had been sold twice and married to a fellow slave, Thomas.  Sojourner escaped with her infant daughter Sofia, became a famous preacher, and advocated for women's rights and against slavery.  Ms. Truth continued traveling and speaking until her death in 1883.

This is block #2 for me =- the first was done in blue/pink/brown, was lovely, but also seemed to be too big a splotch of bright color for my quilt --another fun block to make...
