Today was the last of the CWR blocks. I didn't start until about July, but it has been a wonderful journey for me. I learned so much about Civil War History, quilt block history, and my ability to make many different blocks.
#52 Christmas Star and #53 Union Shield
I've opted to set my blocks 7 X 8 with sashing and cornerstones and add a 6 inch border. So, in order to have enough blocks, I made 3 more to make 56.
Swallow, Flock and a Fox and Geese Variation
Then I also made four 6" blocks for the corners of the border. Not sure when I'll assemble the top (I'm comprising my "2012 Quilt Schedule"), but I would like to finish it by next fall.
Happy New Year !!

Happy New Year, Doniene, and may the cabin turn into the dreamt-of and worked-on residence for you!
Cheers!!

This would be a wonderful quilt to have completed for fall, with these warm, earthy colors. Very nice, Doniene.
I am so glad we have become friends. You have enriched my life. Thanks for the time you have spent visiting with me and for the lovely gift you sent. I treasure it as I do you!
I've enjoyed getting to know you, too, Doniene. You are an inspiration and I envy your life there on the ranch.
You have a quilt schedule! No wonder you get so much done. Your CW blocks are perfect and I look forward to seeing them assembled into a top.
Here's to lots of quilts in 2012!
