Pieces of Eight

Background

10/12/2009 - I've recently begun designing fabric of my own via Spoonflower.com. Some of my designs are adapted from historical pop culture images of black people; that is, when I can those that aren't so racist they make me want to spit. This quilt is made up of 8" x 8" test squares of my fabric designs..
