Block #3: Framed Variable Star

Dedicated to Mary Church Terrell -- Graduated  in  1860's from Oberlin College as one of the first African American women to earn a college degree -- moved to Washington, DC in 1891 following marriage -- joined African American women contingent in 1913 suffrage march in which African Americans were made to march at the back of the parade -- later championed racial equality and successfully sued City to be able to dine & shop throughout DC.

"Party of 12" fabrics except for backgrounds --- used Wing Clipper tool and scant 1/4 seam -- like the soft look --
