Another update on my Ohio Collection quilt. I have had company for about 10 days so not a lot of sewing done but I did have some free time here and there. Some of the blocks were done previously and not shown so I will share pictures now.
A Bow Ties block.
Birds In the Air.
The hands and horseshoes is not from Anita's book but a version is pictured in a quilt in the Ohio Miami Valley book. I enlarged the picture and traced elements to create a block that would fit the space I had.
Periwinkle. The edges did not come out exactly the way they should have but will work in the quilt as is.
An Old Maid block.
I still have blocks to stitch but was anxious to start sewing the top part of the quilt together. My design wall is not wide enough to show the entire width flat but you can get an idea of what it is going to look like. Lots of partial seams and thinking on how to best do it.
Not all the parts are connected yet but many are. I need to sew a couple blocks before I can put more together on the quilt. I am liking it very well.
Lori,
Nancy,
Cathy, and
LuAnn are still working on their blocks and you can see updates by visiting their blogs.
I have had inquiries as to where the book can be purchased that we are using for patterns. As far as I know, the Ohio Collection quilt pattern book is only available directly from Anita Shackelford.
Here is a link. We are also using the Album Quilts of Ohio Miami Valley book by Sue Cummings for reference and some of the blocks that we have opted to add to the quilt. You can find new and used copies of the book on Amazon.
Back to my sewing room for more fun.
