I went to the fabric store for something specific. I wasn’t shopping for random fabric. I didn’t plan for this. Didn’t ask for this. Didn’t look for this.
But I’m oh so glad it did!
I found fabric based on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and it’s precious! Some of the fabric features her quotes, some her glasses, some her iconic collars, and my favorite – her small figure with a crown (a nod to her nickname the “Notorious R.B.G.” which is a play off the Notorious B.I.G., rapper Biggie Smalls.)
I mulled over how best to do justice to this Justice that I’ve long admired, and I finally settled on a sort of “dancing” block where the block is tilted and framed. I was surprised when it turned out to have an almost retro look by the end of it. And I was on a roll, so I made two of them. I have just enough fabric left to do a third at some point and maybe a doll quilt or two.
I think these will do well at the craft shows.


Great tribute to the lady! Very unusual fabric, isn’t it? And of course, the quilt looks striking.

Thank you! The more I learned about her, the more in love I was. What a lovely, tenacious woman.

I’ve seen the crowned RBG print, but didn’t know there was a whole line (and, dang it, now I have to get some of that “When There Are Nine” for myself.) Just a fantastic pattern choice on your part – it’s got so much energy, just like Bader Ginsberg herself!
