The Little Giant Another piece, under glass. The rubbings are printed in shades of blue and gray. Stephen Douglas: “The Little Giant” “The Little Giant,” a quilt block with many pieces, refers to Stephen Douglas, (1813-1861), a noted orator and debater, who was Lincoln’s political opponent in the 1860 presidential election. The block's name recalls Douglas’ nickname, a reference to his diminutive stature. The same block has also been published as, “Heart’s Desire.” from quiltersmuse.com
In 1986, I was invited by the Buffalo Seminary to have a one man show in the Larkin House. A purchase award was included in this invitation. This piece was purchased by the school as part of their Colby program. It still hangs there. It is a combination of drawing fluid/ screen filler stencil and book rubbings on various red fabrics. It is printed in shades of red and hand quilted. Bleeding Heart
