Closing In!!

We have a few more to post here.....we are truly getting close to the final blocks.  We have two more to complete and we'll be finished.  Wow!  Annie has said all along that she hoped we'd get the blocks completed by the beginning of September, and we just may do it.

Last weekend was a rough time for me, and one of the things that helps me in times of difficulty is to create. So, I spent quite a bit of time with browns and golds and reds and blues and came up with these, which thankfully Annie likes, too.   And just a heads-up here.  Annie and I both love a good pinwheel.  :-)

Peace and Plenty

Pinwheel-Square-in-a-Square-in-a-Square

Pretty cool.  At least we think so!

Yankee Puzzle

This is also a "Broken Dishes" pattern.

The header at the top of the page is a

Broken Dishes quilt in Civil War reproduction fabrics,

and you can see the pinwheel-play in it.

Ladies' Aid Album

The original block just didn't do it for us.

It looked smashed together or something.

So this is what we decided would work.

The outer border "light" fabric was replaced with dark blue.

Louisiana

And these two show the remake of "Louisiana."

The original red and blue just weren't working for us.

And here is the Design Wall in its current state.

The empty spot left of center and just below middle

will be filled by our Log Cabin block which is undergoing a face-lift.

The other two spots will have blue- and red-dominant blocks in residence.

So then, next time I'm going to document the

"Evolution of Lincoln's Platform,"

the most elusive of our blocks to come to completion!
