I love the quilt that has the year on the front. Maybe Barbara has a block in mind? It would be fun if everyone had access to a quilt label that Barbara designed for this special project. Many thanks to Becky for all of her creativity and beautiful sewing. When we get to the end, sniff...sniff, is there any chance we can see a photo showing all of Becky's quilt spread out in a flat surface? Barbara, many thanks for showing all the different layout ideas, as well as for your gift of this wonderful project.Bellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-63325503748181037022011-11-12T22:48:12.897-06:002011-11-12T22:48:12.897-06:00I see my idea on quilting grammies, only my stars ...I see my idea on quilting grammies, only my stars are in cheddar. Piecing the sashing as to keep the stitching chain going under my needle while piecing other things. I haven't sewn my blocks and sashing together, but it sure looks good. Thank you for a fabulous project.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127440931416786115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-68478167139121038872011-11-12T15:21:43.524-06:002011-11-12T15:21:43.524-06:00I've been reading and sewing all along the way...I've been reading and sewing all along the way (beginner quilt block maker here)... but first time to post. WOW, how much I have learned from you! Thank you!!!!<br /><br />I am following Lois' idea, since I have no idea otherwise how to square them all up to the same size. Yes, some are 7 7/8", some are 8 1/8".<br />Thank you for the weekly history lessons, for turning me into an avid reader of Civil War history, and for teaching me some quilting ideas!<br /><br />What is your next project for us?

Can you tell me if once this is all done, will you keep the site up and running or maybe publish these in a separate book later. I am just afraid by the time I am ready to make them, It won't be there anymore!
