Quilting (Art) as Protest

Quilting is art, and art is often used to express emotion.  If the chaos of our world today has your emotions all over the place, I often feel the same way.  While quilting is usually my happy place, sometimes my quilting helps me to process some of those feelings. I try to use that energy to put something good out into the world, making quilts or other items that can be donated.  But sometimes, I just need to create something that expresses where I stand on issues that are important to me. 

If you are doing the same, and want your quilt design to reflect those feelings, consider some of the options below.

(Head's up: some designs are blunt/explicit)
