I Lied..........

Okay, this is not the assembled quilt, but a sneak preview of how it will look.  The blocks will be set on point and the empty corners are where the initial blocks will go.

Can't believe I am in the home stretch....

I have all the blocks from the class done and I am now working on 4 blocks that will have the initials of all 4 kids.  Of course I did mine first!

The really neat thing is that the border fabric on this block is called FAMILY ALBUM!!  How perfect is that?  I will also be using it for the backing.  I think the binding will be all the scraps and pieces, that were used in the blocks, sewn together, for a scrappy look. 

This will be lap sized.  It is a Christmas gift for my dad who was a Marine and is still active in a detachment group doing parades, fund raising etc.

The next pic I post, hopefully, will be the finished product.

Thanks for reading along with me this year!

Oh yeah, I am starting another class this month!!  It will be a modern quilt, all geometrics, should be fun.

UGH - one hour or so later and I realized that this block should not be a square but a triangle!! I took it apart and am remaking it.

Tree Block Redone......

This was the only block without the golden yellow fabric in it....not anymore!
So excited to start laying out all the blocks and seeing what else I may add to it!

Last Block for Americana Quilt Class....

Wow - this one was so hard!!  You can see I lost the points on the star and I still have to border it to bring it to 15 1/2 square.

Now its time to start putting these blocks together and figure out the quilt design.  I may make some primitive 9 patches for each corner, but not sure what else yet.  I will get inspired after I lay them out....hopefully!
