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!

This would be a wonderful quilt to have completed for fall, with these warm, earthy colors. Very nice, Doniene.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
