Future Heirloom: Delta Menopause

© 2004


Those of us approaching menopause are only too familiar with our private summers. So when I decided to make a fan quilt, the name had to commemorate this rite of passage.

I love red and white quilts and have made several. Delta Menopause has appliqué fan blocks with alternating white blocks. A flying geese (delta) border frames the center of the quilt. It was lovingly hand quilted over two years and measures 84 x 84 inches.

Delta Menopause can be purchased exclusively at the Underground Railroad Quilt Code Museum www.plantationquilts.com in Atlanta, GA.
