Not yet quilted, but this improv pieced banner is done, featuring one of my favorite quotes by concentration camp survivor and rights activist Stéphane Hessel

His full quote is "To create is to resist. To resist is to create." but I didn't have enough scraps for both, so the letters' fabric choices mirror each other instead

Been wanting to do this for a while; now seemed the right time

Here's a short write up about Hessel's incredible life:

Improv pieced letters that read "To Create is To Resist". The letters are sewn from a series of tone-on-tone rainbow fabrics, with the first and last letter being red and the other letters mirroring each other, front to middle to back, in this order: pink, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple. The center word "Is" is pieced from tone-on-tone black fabric and the backing fabric for the entire 5 foot plus banner is white.
