War of 1812 Project Inspiration

I am planning on entering the War of 1812 Quilt Challenge. Here are pertinent websites:

War of 1812 Quilt Challenge Website

These historical pieces are serving as my inspiration:

Winterthur Museum Item #1958.0108
Circa 1810-1813

International Quilt Study Center & Museum Item #2007.034.0001
Circa 1790-1810

International Quilt Study Center & Museum Item #2008.040.0182
Circa 1790-1810

I did not discover this quilt until after completion of my project, but I am including it because it includes the fabric on which I based my piece.

Winterthur Museum
"Flight Into Egypt" by Sarah Warner Williams (1810-1830)
