While waiting for the fabric to come in to finish my Warm Wishes quilt I have started another quilt that I have been wanting to do for some time. It is very simply but is gonna be all about Louisiana. This is just the first row, but was wanting opinions before going any further. Each row will be 5 blocks across alternating with the green and gold border and then a black sash.

Is that going to be fabulous

Very nice. I can't wait to see it done.

So Cool!! Love it!!!

I love your theme for this quilt :D:D:D

looking good so far...

keep us up to date...what are your next blox

I think that's really going to look great.

I love the pepper material-I had a shirt made out of it!

Can't wait to see if you find crawdad fabric! You could make your own with a wooden stamp. Your idea gives me inspiration.

Great start to a great quilt.

I LOVE IT!!! I want to do that at some point!!! :)

That is going to be so awesome...grew up in the south and miss it so much...blessings, at least I live in South Dakota.LOL

I actually just bought some!!! :) I found it online!

I spent a year in Minot North Dakota many years back, a southern girl's first time to see snow. :shock: :shock:
LOVE the summers there, the winters-----well not so much. :-(

OH YEAH.....There is gonna be crawfish in there. Would not be a Louisiana Quilt without it. Now if I can only find fabric with Pelicans........

I'd say that's a wonderful start and you definitely should continue.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Can't wait to see it finished............please post a picture when you are done!

Ok I wanted to go back into this post to edit topic but I do not see anywhere to be able to do that like I used to. Anyway I worked all day on the blocks, made one minor adjustment of 4 across instead of 5 and made it 6 down. All I need to do is add the sashing and border it.

Love it!

So awesome! Can't wait to see it finished!

Looks like Louisana to me - just need to get some crawfish fabric.

That is so cute and such a good idea!

Don't forget to incorporate some purple in it too to make it the three colors that say Louisiana! Very pretty so far. Make sure to post the finished quilt.

Can't wait to see your finished LA quilt. What a neat idea.
See, by the time I submitted this, flash, the whole quilt, almost, appeared before my eyes.. What a treasure to keep.

Such a cute idea!! Looking to see the finished quilt!

Too CUTE!!! Really want to see it finished now!!!

Can't wait to see it when its finished. I love those beads!!

Being from Louisiana, I love it. Good job.

Lookin' good!

Oh how pretty!!!!!!! I love your beautiful state. Please keep us posted!! :D:D

You have got me going. I have already ordered some fabric. Hopefully mine will be as beautiful as yours.

Hey CajunQuilter - I hope to see a block for the cotton. I grew up in the cotton fields of North Louisiana, so that is what I associate as representing my ole home state.

Wow thanks for the great idea. I will have to go on a hunting mission. Would love to find some fabric with sugar cane as well but I would imagine that is an impossibilty

What a great idea! Can't wait to see it finished.

Love your Louisiana fabrics. What a great idea. And I like the green and gold borders.

Did you find any sugar cane fabric? :oops: Oops, hadnt read all the posts.

Nope on the sugar cane fabric. wonder if there is such a thing???

You've really got my creative juices flowing! Thanks.

Thanks for all the great compliments. Let's see how many of you start a state quilt and be sure to post them for all of us to see. That would be awesome!!!!
