canada 150 quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
This quilt has only 72 of the 156 blocks made to commemorate Canada's 150th birthday. This one is complete. There is one more this size and a large one with 156 6 inch blocks, bordered and ready to quilt. Just ran out of steam and Christmas is looming with lots left to do.[ATTACH=CONFIG]585267[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]585268[/ATTACH]

beautifully done. i'm tired just thinking of how many blocks you made :)

Tartan 12-13-2017 08:33 AM

​Great quilt and that's a lot of blocks!

Tothill 12-13-2017 08:40 AM

Beautiful, where did you get the pattern?

QuiltE 12-13-2017 09:06 AM

Glorcour ... Congratulations!
My goodness ... you did double the blocks.
I'll look forward to seeing all three quilts together in a future post.

I bet you learned a lot about the significant women in Canadian history.

I didn't know about this quilt project until it was well on the way and really would have liked to have followed along with the weekly block releases. Still thinking of ordering the CD with the patterns and stories, but it just wouldn't be the same, not doing it in the 150th year. But yes, probably still will, especially for the historical info!

Red & white quilts always capture my attention and this one sure did in a big way. It's beautiful. All those little blocks! Impressive.

What a dedicated undertaking! Your quilt is beautiful and will certainly be an heirloom! I was in Canada for some of the commemoration and it was a wonderful celebration. We attended events in Ottawa.

Beautiful quilt and nice work.

quiltgran2 12-15-2017 07:54 AM

Very pretty front and back. I printed the instructions for each block but haven't begun yet. I'm thinking it probably won't be completed in 2017!! You did a lovely job!

Gail B 12-16-2017 12:16 AM

Thank you for sharing. Wish I had known about this while it was in progress but I will order the CD now. Beautiful quilt.
