Deara

I am making this for my husband. :D
He loves all things pertaining to the Civil War.

I have been inspired by all of you who have done the URR Quilt. :lol:
This quilt top has been a learning experience for me. :roll:
I have only sewn a friendship star and a nine-patch block previous to this undertaking.

I have had many days when I ripped out more than I sewed. :oops:
I have learned so much in the process. :)

Hubby helped me choose the fabrics and the backing for this quilt. :D
He has a good eye for color. I love his choices. :lol:

I do not know how I will quilt it. :roll:
Hubby suggested quilt in the ditch.
I want this quilt to hold up to everyday use.

Please give me your suggestions and comments.

Thank you all,
Sandi

Didn't mean for two pics of the backing.

Your blocks are wonderful! You certainly got a lot of practice making different kind of blocks.l

The backing fabric is really special, too!

Lucky husband!

Your underground rail road is really, really nice. I am sure you are proud of your results. That was a ton of work to make this quilt for him. I enjoy learning new blocks. Did you?

It is a very nice quilt for hubby. He must be thrilled!!!

Deara

Thank you Joan.
I appreciate the encouragement.
Hubby spied the backing at Hancocks when I was looking at the flannel.
He called me over and said what do you think about this for the back.
I just smiled and said that's it.

That is fabulous! I love that backing.. :D

Deara

Thanks Red.
I am very happy with the results.
I so enjoy sewing and making things for others.
I was very excited when the blocks turned out sorta looking like the ones in the pics. Some were smaller and some were larger, but I enjoyed making them all.
Hubby is very happy. His smile was all I needed to see when I showed him the finished top.

That's beautiful, and I love how your dh helped pick the fabrics!! That's such a special treasure for both of you.

For quilting, I don't know. What was the common quilting method of the day in the late 1800s? Surely someone here knows.

That is just beautiful. You did a great job on it.
