Civil War Diary Sampler

Today should be called progress day. I finished the broken dishes top. I finished the scrappy mountains top( pictures tomorrow). And as a leader ender when I was sewing up the blocks of those 2 quilts I added the borders on this one. How many days can you sew up 3 quilt tops.
I used EQ to come up with some 6 inch blocks and made this sampler similar to civil war quilts I have seen on many blogs. I had planned on buying the book but the local quilt shop was out so I just started with a few blocks with EQ. I really enjoyed making up a few blocks and using some blocks that were already on EQ. The last 3 or 4 blocks that I made I just used up left over pieces from the first few not the best blocks but they worked not all the blocks can be shinning stars. Note the one in the bottom corner that looks like a H. What was I thinking. Get this last block done???
