Moving right along. In the back story for the block this month, Denniele again talks about the death of Almo (the focal character for this project who was also her great grandfather).
As you might remember, I am making my quilt to honor the service of my grandfather, James Patrick Coughlan. He was a survivor of the Great War and came home again much to the relief of his mother Caroline.
This project has now given us 11 blocks with just one more to come before we must set our blocks together and turn this project into a finished quilt. While I am looking forward to the last block I will be sorry for the project to come to an end as I have enjoyed very much the challenge of sewing some lesser known blocks that require a good amount of skill.

Actually, whatever problems you may have experienced photographing your block they are not apparent in the photos. It's a beautiful block - different from your usual work with the shading of that batik in the four corner squares on point. How appropriate to post your great-grandmother's dreams come true with the photos of your father and uncle. It's going to be a great quilt, but in the meantime, it's been a great subject for your blog.
