Quilting progress

Hole in the Barn Door Blocks

Gayle and I joined a group of quilters which meets at the Sachem Public Library once a month. We've been working with red, white, and blue fabrics and have made 2 blocks so far. The "hole in the barn door" is one of them. Every time I make a block for the group, I make another in the civil war reproduction fabrics I found through Fat Quarters Shop.com. I'm hoping to make enough blocks in various patterns in coordinating fabrics in order to put together my first quilt. I'm planning on making it a lap quilt that I can cover myself with when I'm watching TV this winter. It will be called the "Civil War Sampler" quilt...that is once I figure out how to join all the blocks together.
