Civil War Quilt - Last Blocks!

I have finished all the blocks that I am going to sew for my Civil War Quilt...woohoo!!
This is Block #50 - Grapes of Wrath. The blog post recalls the interesting story of the writing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic".








And last but not least, is Block # 52 Christmas Star. I used up a lot of odds and ends to piece this block, and it doesn't look anything like a star!


Now I will hunt around my sewing room and collect up all the blocks and see what I have ended up with.

  3. Very scrappy star block. I don't see a star either! But both blocks look wonderful. What a great journey you've made in CW prints.

  4. Congrats on finishing 50! I am still trying to get to mine this month. Haven't made it yet- Busy Week with Guild and stuff! I like the scrappiness of the Christmas Block.

    Happy sewing!
