Here's my block 18, the Ohio Star. I'm almost through with what I think is the next block. It feels good to be sewing again. My sewing room is really hot since we lost our big tree in the storms a month ago. I'm going to bring my Bernina to the dining table, just like old times!

I will be leaving for work early tomorrow morning so I am posting this tonight...
Carol if you are right you made the
CONTRARY WIFE---which can be found on page 90 in Eleanor's book VICTORY QUILTS
if you don't have this wonderful book here is where you can find the directions on quilter's cache (but the book is wonderful and should be in your library)

I thought it was going to be the Contrary Wife so I made my block last night. I used El's Victory Quilts. Thanks, Carolyn!

Thanks Carolyn & Denise! El certainly makes everything easier. When I try other patterns, I never know which way to press. I just love my Victory Quilts book, both for the quilt blocks & the history lessons!

With everything else in my life I have not had time to keep up with this. I have the pieced blocks done through # 13 and a couple of the applique but that is all. I am making sure to keep up with the list though as I will finish sometime. Not sure I will do all the applique but we will see. So, time frame is whatever other's want for this.

Hello Mary, glad to see you back!

With the moving, me too, I didn't had time to sew on the blocks. I'm up to # 14, which is not stitched yet. I keep note of the blocks to be done and will make them eventually!
