Time to reveal a couple more quilts. My ''Civil War Quilt Group'' meets once a month. Each year we trade birthday blocks . In 2011 we traded split nine patches. After putting mine on the design wall & playing with different orientations, simple seemed best ,creating four light squares. Great spot to applique Yea!!! Thanks Elly Sinkewitz for the block designs. This was so much fun to work on, small can be great!!

This next quilt ,an early one, was a special journey, again Elly's blocks. Two years in the making and I quilted it myself, after all the lovely applique the quilting was not good & rather mars what is a lovely quilt.So the journey was more difficult as I had to accept the fact that my quilting needed a lot more practice .For a while I zeroed in on mastering the art of quilting, after many quilts lots & lots of practice 5 Years worth I feel I am no longer a learner but still need more practice , but at least I feel my quilts benefit from my quilting . Its a good feeling to be able to think i did it all.
