Another handful of blocks to share from the book by Jennifer Chiaverini called The Loyal Union Sampler.

The first one is called North Star. If I had all day every day to sit and hand piece I’d be very happy to make lots of these. I found it very challenging but fun to make!

Another one with lots of hand stitching is up next. It’s called Ohio.

Then there’s Oregon. I’d misplaced the photo for this one and thought I’d missed it out! Thankfully, it was in the wallet with the rest.

A nice and easy one called Peace and Plenty.

Last but not least is Pennsylvania.

Here’s the virtual quilt so far.

Five more six inch blocks to share today. They’re all from the Loyal Union Sampler book by Jennifer Chiaverini.

The first one is called Missouri Star.

Nevada needed a little hand stitching.

Next is New Hampshire. I like all the different shapes and lines in this one.

The fourth one is New Jersey. Those tiny white triangles….ugh! I know there’s easier ways to construct the same design but this is how it is in the book so I stuck to it.

The final one today is New York State. It’s one of my favourites so far because I think it could make some interesting patterns if repeated in a quilt.

Almost two thirds completed now.

Hello again,

At last! Here’s another five blocks from the Loyal Union Sampler by Jennifer Chiaverini. Sorry that I left it so long before getting back to this project. I’ve been doing lots of crafting in the meantime, just not working on the LUS.

First up today is Maine.

This one is called Manassas.

Next up is Manger.

Maryland is next.

Finally, this is Massachusetts.

This bunch was relatively straightforward to put together. Only the size made them a little bit fiddly.

This is where I’m up to now and I promise to keep at this project until all the blocks are done.

This was always going to be a long term project!
