This is what the next quilting project looks like for our Satellite Quilt group that meets twice a month at my recreation room here on the Gorge Waterway. It is a book of letters from 1920 farm wives and the 111 blocks they inspired. I'm hoping my fabric choices will work as the material pictured in the book certainly is not in my stash. I can't wait to get started. Why do we need to sleep when there is so much quilting one wants to do. Am I the only one that that goes to bed at night and hope I sleep fast so I can get back to my sewing room and start quilting again. I think not!

No, you are not alone! Your satellite group sounds like fun.
Oh my Gosh! Kathy I love that! I love the old school fabrics. Natasha thinks I am crazy becuase I also want to make a Dear Jane Quilt. Can't wait to follow your progress.I hope yoe are going to bring this to Quilt till you Wilt would love to see the book and fabric. :D
I have that book too but have not started the quilt. When I make it I intend to do scrappy look with a white or cream background - I don't care for the darker colors of civil war fabric and some of the homespun look.
