The Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles

The idea of the banner came from the corporate identity of the Quilters’ Guild. Their use of squares to denote quilted patches gave an idea of a quilted banner using the Suffragette colours. Shades of green, white and purple were cut and sewn together to give the impression of a quilt.

The ‘shadow forms’ are outlines of quilters, both modern and from 100 years ago - connecting quilters who would have fought for the vote, to the quilters of today who proudly use their vote. The embroidered crosses denote women’s right to make their mark.
