More Blocks!

I finished 3 more blocks for my Civil War Bride Quilt. I have a few more finished that I need to get pictures of. I've had to slow down to do yard work and guilt has made me dig out a few UFO's that I need to work on too. I think that I just need to finish 3 more blocks and then I will be ready for the borders. I'm not sure if I will follow the pattern for the borders or do my own thing. I really love how it is turning out.

New Blocks Finished

I have had a shoulder problem this winter so I have not been able to quilt or cut out or sit at the sewing machine. It is very frustrating, but I have done a lot of hand applique. I finished my blocks for the Cottage Garden Quilt. I just need to decide on the sashing and borders. And I finished 6 more blocks on my Civil War Bride quilt. I love this quilt, I'm tried to make it with more tradional fabrics.

Civil War Bride Quilt

I came across a blog that had this wonderful quilt and all the ladies were working on it and showing photos of their progress. The pattern is made from an antique quilt called "The Bird of Paradise Quilt". When I saw the blocks I just knew I just had to make it, along with the 30 other quilts I'm working on. So I order the pattern and could hardly wait to start. I finished my first 6 blocks and have 3 more nearly finished. Only 11 more and 4 borders and I'll be done. Maybe some time in 2012?
