Before the gay marriage equality logo went viral on social media last month, it was already a familiar motif to me, albeit in a different context. Back in 2007-2008, when I was developing designs for my Power Stripping workshop, I made this quilt that I called “Power Points” because the motif recalled an electricity outlet or wall plug:
My quilt is made from a gay rainbow of colours but the pattern could be easily adapted to the reds and pinks of the marriage equality logo. Take a look at Kristin la Flamme’s Equality Wedding Quilt (made from her own pattern) to get an idea of how it might look.
Dimensions: 179cm x 179cm (70 1/2in x 70 1/2in)
A Power Stripping Design: A$10.00
Incidentally, my next Power Stripping Workshop is at Hobbysew,Erina on 21 June 2013. Contact Karen to book your place.

Yup, your pattern would make a great Marriage Equality quilt — in one red and one pink, or in myriad shades. 🙂
