Catching up on quilting projects

If Georgia had waited until her due date, this would have been finished on time! However, it is finished now and delivered to the Miller home. Some day it will probably be on Georgia's bed since it is probably twin size. For now, it will be on the chair in her room so she can snuggle with her Mom or Dad in the dark of night.



This is the backing and maybe a closer look at my machine quilting.



Time to start some new projects!  The best news is that Georgia seems to be doing really well, getting hungrier and and starting to fill out those long legs! She eats about every three hours, and she is awake a good bit of the day now. I hope she grows to love her quilt -- and maybe someday, we can sew something together!

I got behind on my Civil War block of the week, but this week I caught back up by doing four blocks.



The first one I did, Week 12, was Louisiana.



Week 13 was Blue Basket. According to Barbara Brackman who is providing the patterns on her Civil War Quilt blog, "The name has two meanings. The pattern is literally a little blue basket and it also can recall the Little Blue, a river in western Missouri. The Little Blue formed valleys and caves along the Kansas/Missouri border, a landscape that provided hiding places and refuge for Confederate guerillas during the Civil War."



Week 14 was Fox and Geese, representing the standoff  for control of Fort Sumter in early April before the war began.



Finally, this week commemorated the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the war with the Confederate bombing of the Union fort in Charleston's harbor, and the block is appropriately named Fort Sumter.
