The Rajah Quilt Revisited
The historic Rajah Quilt, sewn by women convicts on board the ship Rajah traveling from England on April 1841 to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land-now known as Tasmania. The original quilt measured approximately 128" x 128". This quilt was selected as the inspiration for the 2016 Block of the Month - the Rajah Quilt Revisited as designed by Lessa Siegele. Lilo Bowman was intrigued about the history of the quilt and added "History Tidbits" to each of the monthly BOM lessons. We thought you would enjoy seeing the history behind this amazing quilt.
