Marching Onward...

The end is in sight for my latest Civil War quilt and I have only three blocks to finish by Saturday.  Y'know, this would be the first time I would receive the new block-of-the-week without having older ones looming over me...such freedom!

Here's a few that I've done:

13. Little Blue Basket
 The embroidered handle on the Little Blue Basket was added by me to make this quilt a little more personal. 


39. Hovering Hawks

44. Union

45. Port and Starboard

41. Red, White, and Blue Quilt
Looking at these five that I've chosen, I should be proficient in making half-square triangles.  I do love them and all the endless ways to use them.  Also, I've tackled the "Y" seam or should say, the "Y" seam has sacked me but I vow to keep getting up fighting.

Well, those final three blocks are waiting and do want to move on to some other stuff, as well, so, I must part.  I hope y'all are enjoying your day!

Count your blessings,
Susan

That little embroidered basket handle was a stroke of genius. All of the blocks look very good, and I admire your spunk and determination in conquering the "Y". I just turn and run, whimpering. : )
