Baltimore Album Quilts

I met my deadline and the quilt for market is at the quilter.  Since I was good and stayed focused I decided to reward myself by working on my Friends of Baltimore quilt designed by Sue Garman.  As a reminder, here's the quilt.  Some of you are probably scratching your head saying "THAT is a reward??!"


Here's the first block.  I prepared my pieces and spent a lovely day Tuesday with friends stitching them down. 


I am working on the second block -- the ship.


Baltimore album quilts fascinate me.  The next few posts I want to share my favorite album books. 

Mom is doing very well.  Yesterday she told me she has hair growing back - fuzzy, soft, barely visible white hair.  For those in the area, stay dry.  Hopefully we will be able to dry out soon.

  8. Where did you find the pattern for the sailing ship, I have searched for the past two months without success? Your work is beautiful.
