Civil War Tribute Quilt

Civil War Tribute Quilt
Another UFO

I started taking pictures of all my quilt tops I have ready to quilt. I will start posting them. This first picture is of 4 Saturday Sampler quilts I have pieced. 3 of them are from Quilt Sampler and the red, black and white is from Merrily We Quilt Along. The idea of the Saturday Sampler is that you come in to the Quilt Shop on the designated Saturday, such as the 1st Saturday. You buy a quilt block for $5. They give you the pattern and fabric to make the block. You make the block within the next month, bring your block back the following month and you get a free block that month. If you don't miss any months, you can make 12 blocks for a quilt for $5. If you miss a month, you just go in anytime after that Saturday and buy a block for $5. I have never made it to every month's Saturday. I have always had to buy a block. This does not include the sashing, borders, backing, and binding. Those you have to purchase seperately.


The Butterfly Quilt on the far left is from a block swap I did several years ago over the internet. The yellow 9-patch is a lap size quilt I made to teach a kid's quilting class. The blue one is the first blocks I got from 1st Saturday Sampler. I just started going to Quilt Sampler and didn't know about 1st Saturday Sampler. They had some extra blocks and I could only get 5 blocks that year. The next year was when I started going regularly. The green one is made from a Charm Pack and I made this one for a program at my local quilt guild.


This picture is of a Log Cabin I did from strips of fabric the ladies at church gave me. I need to add borders and get it back to them for them to quilt.
The second one is a 1st Saturday Sampler Christmas quilt. I decided I needed to add an outside border once I looked at it again.
The third quilt is a quilt I did from Fat Quarters I bought when I did a Shop Hop.
The red and green is Jenny Beyer's Mirage quilt. It is Mom's quilt I made for her one Christmas. It is still not quilted.
Then the blue is Jenny Beyer's Moonglow quilt. It belongs to my son, Joey. Also, still not quilted.
There are three pictures. I will post more later. I have a lot of quilting to do, don't you think? I told my husband I didn't know whether to get busy and get some quilted before piecing any more or keep saving them and see if I could get to 100 by the time I retire in 6 years. I have over 50 now.
