I finished my Civil War Block of the Week Quilt from 2011 featured on Barbara Brackman's Blog. I enjoyed making the blocks and looked forward to Saturday mornings when they would appear on Barbara's blog. The setting I used was one that she offered as a suggested setting here. It is the second one shown in this post and I just love it! It took me over a year to get it finished (not counting the year to make the blocks, but here it is!
A big thank you to Barbara for her wonderful blog and for the blocks of the week and all the history included. I really need to take my time and study it more extensively.

The quilt measures 95" square and it is the second very large quilt that I have quilted this year. I'm going to be working on smaller quilts for quite a while - I hope! Thanks for all the encouraging words!
Absolutely beautiful! Great job~
