Block 23 of my McHenry Crazy Quilt:
This is our first High School built in 1924 on the east side of town. In the late 1960's, a 2nd High School was built on the west side.
Each block is 9 inches square. The vintage photos are printed on fabric sheets that run through my printer.
The blocks are pieced entirely by hand on a cotton foundation fabric.
There will be 40 blocks all together.
Most of these buildings are still here although a few have burned down (a long match in my opinion).
I have to get some more photos printed up. 17 blocks to go!!!

That is not just heirloom work, it is museum work. Fantastic. I have never seen a more beautiful quilt, nor prettier embroidery.
It is commendable that you have such a beautiful blog. Thank you for your articles...
