Unfinished baby blocks1/3/2024 I've been writing down inscriptions as I come across them. Some have just the name and date like the today's blocks. Many of the blocks have sentiments inked on them for the Sarah and Maxon. Were Sarah and Maxom married? Perhaps, but as we continue on with the blocks you may begin to wonder about their relationship too. So many questions! There were members of the both Randolph and Dunham families in Illinois, Wisconsin and New Jersey. More leaves and flowers from the same print.ĭid anything jump out at you when looking at these first four blocks? The three donut blocks were all made in Illinois (the Midwest) and the red and green floral block was made on the east coast of the United States in New Jersey. You might not think it possible but you'll see it fussy cut later in the quilt. This donut block has a sweet spray of flowers in the corners and a cluster of leaves on the four sides. Before you decide, take a look at the cute broderie perse as we explore the first four blocks. At first I wasn't sure I liked them so I drafted a group of blocks from antique quilts that could be used as substitutes. I looked around and realized how many there actually were. Three of the first four blocks are donuts! When I drafted the first three blocks I got a little surprise? There are circles or donuts as I'm calling them, all over the quilt. Because this quilt has a pieced sashing I thought you might like to work on that as we go along so you could assemble your blocks. I've always jumped all over the place and given a layout to put the blocks together at the end. I've never done a block of the month where I presented the blocks in order. This picture is of the upper left corner. Oh my, the quilt looks so sad laying on the floor in the living room. I think hanging from the quilt stand in the garage might give the photographer enough room to capture the whole quilt in one shot. I'm still working on getting us a full view picture of the entire quilt. I believe the quilt was made for Sarah and Maxon Dunham by family and friends. If you haven't read the introduction post for this quilt you might want to take a few minutes to do that. This is a long post with lots of pictures and information. I have so much to tell you I'm not sure where to start. I am absolutely blown away by your enthusiasm for this project and hope you'll have a wonderful time as we work together on the blocks. I didn't know what was happening but I just entered and drove home.I have to start by thanking everyone for their patience while I got all the pieces and parts of the Dear Daughter block of the month organized. The only thing was that there was no one in the car! As the car reached me, the doors opened inviting me to enter. All of a sudden I noticed my car turning around and driving towards me. I walked up to my car which I could see in a distance but the woman was nowhere in sight. Then I slowly got out and started walking back in apprehension. I waited there for 5 minutes until there was no sign of the dog. Few blocks away I found a thick bush where I hid. In fear for my life I took off as her dog pounced towards me to attack me. From behind her came a nasty looking dog who was showing his huge teeth at me. As I walked towards her, I heard a sharp growl. So I went over to approach her if she could help me out in fixing my car. I couldn't see her face as it all seemed dark. I got out of the car to see what was wrong with my engine when I spotted a female figure in the distance. I was now in the middle of an unknown location. The music stopped and within a few minutes my car engine stopped too. While I was normally cruising down a block playing my favourite music, the radio suddenly began to cause static. For the past few days I had been working overtime which was the cause of me returning late. It was late at night that I was returning home from work.
