Progress continues on my McHenry Illinois Landmark Crazy Quilt. I've completed Block #31. This building was originally known as the Fox Pavilion. A dance hall built in 1931 to replace the original dance hall which burned down in shortly before this one was built:
This building eventually became McHenry's Roller Skating Rink. Sadly, it burned down in May of 2021.
I have 9 more blocks to do for this quilt. It's been a huge project, trying to preserve the memories of our landmarks here in McHenry, Illinois where I live.
Here is the entire quilt so far:
I've been working on this since December 2017. The blocks are 9 inches and I'm working it in a traditional Victorian style using muted fabric colors. All lace that I use are either vintage or antique. The only embellishments are a few Mother Of Pearl buttons to create the spider that appears on each block.
I chart the lettering out in my cross stitch pattern software and stitch it on the block using waste canvas.
