A to Z challenge I is for .....

A to Z challenge I is for  Indiana Puzzle which is a very old civil war block. Often they were made as the ultimate show of early recycling. All sorts of things were cut up and made into quilts. When times were tough women also made them to raise funds or to give as gifts. There is much love in every quilt made.

  2. That sounds like a fun challenge, piecing it together like a puzzle.

  3. So happy to have found your blog through the A-Z! Love quilting and of course have many many unfinished projects that I haven't worked on for years. I think it might be time to get back into it.
