What do the corners look like

I've skipped around hand quilting the Dresden Plate quilt.  I couldn't work consistently across because I've been marking with blue washout pen and dampening the quilt to remove the ink as I went.  So, next thing I would mark had to be away from that dampness.

But, I have finally finished one complete corner, including the blocks, sashing and border. 

I hope you can see in that pic how I went around the corner.  It's not as good a pic as I thought. 

 

 

Heres a slightly better one.  I was quilting those straight lines behind the feathers in the border, and needed a way to round the corner.  It took some effort to figure out how to mark and quilt it and get the lines to line up.  But, it works.  The corners each have a quarter plate in them. 

 

 

So, it's the anniversary of September 11.  A day to remember and I do remember.  I remember what I was doing and how frightened I was and how I worried about how this would change things.  And, it has changed things. 

 

Please remember because those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.  And, we can't afford to lose any more of our freedoms in deference to terrorists who would harm and frighten and threaten us.
