Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts is home to the Wisconsin Quilt History Project, which has documented over 8,000 quilts and their stories since its founding in 1988.

I really love that people are tracking the history of quilting. We need to know where things came from.

I actually really like this block and might have to make it up.

Cutting

Piecing

Use pieces D and E and make 12 HST.

The rest of this block is placing the pieces in the correct spot. 

Start by placing piece B in the center of your block. This will allow you to sew your center row together. 

Next place pieces A and B.

Lastly add in piece C and sew your corner blocks together.

Sew each of your row together.

Sew your rows together to complete your block.

I do think the fabric for Wisconsin is a little dark on the dark background, but I really couldn't have done a light background with my house. Kids and animals would ruin it in no time, and I'm not crazy enough to think it won't get used even if that isn't intended.
