Per request, here is a closer picture of a couple of the blocks. Obviously it was still a work in progress! [ATTACH=CONFIG]566807[/ATTACH]

I bought the blocks from here: http://oldeamericaantiques.com/catalog/index.php

Wonderful idea! Where did you get the blocks? Praying we still have our parks in the future.

Oh that is beautiful, and I can see how it is so special to them.

Oh wow! Beautiful. We too travel to see the National Parks. We collect the passport stamps from each. I had no idea there are quilt blocks. I may have a new project.
