After last week's Y-seams, I was grateful for a more forthright block to work on... Union Square!
In fact, participants in the Civil War BOW made this block last year.
Amazing how much different fabrics change a block....
My DIL sent me the following photo of one of my grandsons after a tough loss in soccer yesterday... a game where he scored the only goal made by his team... recouping on the sofa...
Wow, your fussy cutting really makes this block stand out. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYes--that is why we make quilts! : )
Beautiful block, and yes, EXACTLY why we make them :) What a sweet photo and a stunning quilt, too. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour block looks just gorgeous Freda, what a patern in the fabrics can do, it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou can see that your grandson gets a lot of comfort out of that quilt.

I love your Grandmother's Choice block and yes, it looks completely different from the same block in the other fabrics.
ReplyDeletePoor kiD, at least he's enjoying a warm hug made with love!
I love the picture of your grandson with the quilt! Yes, that's why we make them.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the blocks. The Road Trip Quilt Along had some very challenging blocks and when there was an easier one, I was relieved. Only one more to do. There were 16, but I plan to do 2 more, including the NC one you sent me. So instead of 4 blocks by 4 for a square quilt, it will be 4 by 5.
Your block of the week is pretty!
Absolutely...Yes! Great photo. Amazing how the choice of fabrics make a total change in the block. Looking very good.
ReplyDeleteLove the fussy cut squares in your Grandmother's choice block.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of your Grandson is priceless!
Beautiful purpley block! And the sweet photo of your g'son, boy he's all wrapped up in love!
ReplyDeleteGreat that the quilt brought comfort! Love the block and the fussy cut part.
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE this block!! The fussy cuts are perfect!! I haven't made mine yet - playing with other projects, but hopefully today!!
ReplyDeleteGrandson looks sorta happy!!
Blessings
I had forgotten that we sewed this block last year!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes...this is exactly why I love to make quilts for my family! Great photo!
I know how you feel about making quilts for family.
ReplyDeleteI like week #3 block : )
Awww, wow. Yes! This is why we make quilts. What a great picture and post to share.
ReplyDeleteThe first block is stunning with the fabrics you've used. Gorgeous! :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous block, I remember making that one the first time. Beautiful quilt your grandson has wrapped around him too.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten that BOW#3 was also in the CW quilt. Love your version this week. And yes, this is why we make quilts, and give them to people!
ReplyDeleteLove the fussy-cutting and love the boy wrapped up in the quilt. Perfect.
