This is a quilt that I have been wanting to do for a long time. It has 121- 6 inch blocks. I know this is a quilt that I will be working on for a long time, but I'm in no hurry. I love this quilt!
Here are some of the fabrics that I bought at WV Quilts. This first photo is all fat quarters. Can you believe this was the first time that I have ever bought fat quarters!
I bought 2 sets of these charm squares. Of course, I just love the pink and brown. With the blocks only being 6 inches, I thought I could use alot of these in it.
On the way back, we stopped at "Sew Many Blessings" they only had a few Civil War Fabrics. I bought 2 fat quarters, but I'm not sure if I will use them in this quilt or not, they just don't seem to go real well with my others.
Like I said there are 121 blocks in this quilt and so far I only have 11 done! At least it is a start...11/121. All of them are paper pieced except for 2 of them.
I think this is a quilt that I will work on quiet often, but I'm sure that I will work on others at that the same time. I have just been skipping around on the blocks and not really doing them in any certain order. Actually, I have been doing most of the easier ones. :)

What wonderful fabric Kristie, we all need a first at some point, so don't be worried about this being your first for fq's. I'm sure it won't be your last *s*. Your blocks are lovely.
I have that book and would like to do the blocks. I started a Dear Jane years ago and quit after about 7 of them. I guess that I'm afraid that the same thing will happen. Your blocks are so pretty.
Looking wonderful!
Your blocks look great!! I'm sort of getting excited to get into it!!
I love the blocks with Abe Lincoln. What a great idea.
I have placed an order for this book and I can't wait to receive it, your blocks are great and the fabric..yummy...
Your blocks look great Kristie. I knew you'd be busy without your computer.
You have to start somewhere and 11 is a very good start. I love your fabrics.
I just love your blocks and the fat quarters you're going to make with them. It's so good to see you back up and on line again. I missed you.
Love the fabric choices and your blocks are beautiful! Can't wait to see all your progress on this and then the finished quilt! I would start on the easy ones too!
Such pretty blocks! Love the fabric colors.
What a great looking quilt that's going to be.
The lockdown must have been so scary for you and Hunter. I'm glad that Richard could get back home to be with you.
