Pretty sure everyone who saw me post about #AmandaGorman’s poem the other day knew this quilt top was coming

I’d also like to thank @kristinHenry, who’s recent ink drawings of the MN flag gave me inspiration when I was looking for the perfect complement to Gorman’s words

Minneapolis protest quilt top show in full on a design wall. The design looks like the Minnesota flag, with the dark blue field/white star on top (the star is a improv sawtooth star, a nod to traditional quilting) Below, on the light blue field, lines from Amanda Gorman’s poem honoring Alex Pretti are improv pieced in a medium blue; they read “If we cannot find words, may we find the will”

Can't keep the exact formatting, but will retain the line breaks. It's a multi-part toot due to character limits. Quote opens and closes with 4 dashes

----
For Alex Jeffrey Pretti

Murdered by I.C.C January 24, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

We wake with
no words, just woe
& wound. Our own country shoot
ing us in the back is not just brutal
ity; it's jarring betrayal; not enforcement,
but execution. A message: Love your people & you
