Grandmothers Choice #3a: Union Square

Not sure why I decided to make two of each block but I'm liking the challenge of making two with such different fabrics...  

I kinda wish I had used the darker orange fabric in the center 9-patch... but oh well!   Not making this one over....

Grandmothers Choice: #3 Union Square

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...

...and this is why we make quilts, yes?
