Theirs

I made this quilt after reading about the use of they as a singular pronoun by many trans individuals rather than he or she. My thinking for this piece was a monogrammed towel as a simple gesture of welcome and acceptance.  I chose the floral background fabric to try to elicit wallpaper.  The dark gray/black strip at the bottom was meant to be the counter top which I chose to leave empty (thought of adding soap, hair brush, etc but decided not to do so). The quilt is 20.5 in X 22 in.  It is machine appliqued and quilted.

 I quilted pronouns (he, she, they, his, hers, theirs) among the background flowers.
