Update 8 – 2017 Buckeye Ties

I finished most of northeast Ohio today. You can see the shore of Lake Erie and the area between Cleveland and the Pennsylvania border. Hello, Amanda, Nate, Jack, and Ivy – livin’ in the Heights!  That yellow triangle is for you, having fun at the park, with those great lake views.

Update 5 – Ohio Stars

It’s been two years since I last worked on the Ohio Star quilt, fashioned with silks and other fabrics from my late father’s ties. He was a World War II Marine and life-long proud Buckeye. The design uses stars of many dimensions to make one large star block reminiscent of the map of Ohio. I have 14 of the 49 stars completed and am aiming to have it done by Memorial Day. I have no other projects currently so will have no excuses.
Here are some of the completed blocks. To kick-start the project, I worked on all the simplest blocks. Now on to the rest!
