Cornerstone

 Dear Readers,

I had another finish.  Will and I named it Cornerstone.  Jackson Quilters asks that each quilter create one quilt for charity or quilts of valor each year.  Our last meeting of the year is in less than two weeks and I finally got around to finishing my charity quilt.  I made one last year out of some 6 inch squares I had gotten in a civil war fabric block exchange years ago, but had forgotten about.  I had a bunch more of those left, so I decided to make another one out of those blocks.  I did them like a disappearing 9 patch but then decided to do a straight block setting.  So I made a finishing row of sashing and blocks for the top and bottom added a border and was done.  I did a simple swirl for the quilting.  I originally made some binding out of the cornerstone block fabric, but I hated it with the backings so I took it off and made a brown binding.  

Jackson Quilters donates a lot of charity and Quilts of Valor quilts.  They give to the children's hospital  

and other goups in the Jackson area. 

Sew on, 

Terry
