Today is our final set of Dear Daughter blocks. I feel like the year has just flown by. I've seen such beautiful blocks being made throughout the year and look forward to seeing your completed quilt.
Rather than hold things over until January for the last two blocks I've posted the final 6 blocks. This way we can have a fresh start in January on a new quilt! Are you wondering what it will be? There's actually going to be two projects next year - something for everyone! I'm keeping them under wraps for now but promise to share one of them with you very soon.
Let's get started on this months blocks -
Block 37
Elias Randolph
Fulton Rock Co
Wisconsin
John A Randolph
1850
Such a simple block but still very pretty. I think the fabric was once a beautiful shade of green.
Block 38
I'm in love with these quirky tulips. I think it's wonderful the way they dance around the block. There are four signatures on this block -
Grace L. Dunn
Harriet M Dunn
Elizabeth Y Dunn
Cornelia M Dunn
Plainfield NJ
May 25th 1852
This for Maxom and Sarah Ann Dunham
Block 39
Maxom Dunham
Piscataway NJ
May 25th 1852
This beautiful bird block is for our groom - Maxom. Don't you just love the stripe fabric used for the stem and the wonderful indigo print for the flower pot? Beautiful fabric choices.
The bird itself has a reverse appliqued eye and wing. Look at the sweet little feet on this bird!
Two little flower pots are appliqued on the bottom corners. The fussy cut leaves fit perfectly.
Block 40
We have another beautiful bird for our bride -
Sarah Ann Dunham
Piscataway NJ May 25 1852
Block 41
Cornelius C Blackford
May 25th 1852
Piscataway NJ
All of the little leaves on this block are fussy cut from the same pretty green print we've seen in many of the blocks.
Block 42
Emaline G Holton
Ill
1850
It seems appropriate the final block is a donut block. I love the indigo and cheddar broderie perse appliques around the donut. You've seen the leaves in the corners many times before.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support and participation in recreating this wonderful quilt. I hope you've enjoyed the journey as much as I have.
