I know you all are waiting for me to list pictures of the quilt squares. Well.... there has been a bit of a glitch. My husband is out of town on a business trip. He sent me an e-mail this morning telling me that he borrowed my camera at the last minute. So, I will probably end up posting the picture of the quilt when it is done.

Finally came up with something for Nebraska.  It is very simple but I am okay with it.  I would change some things on the New Mexico design but not at this point.  There is a minor glitch on the HAE design but I blame it on the influence of living in Navajo country for a while.  The Navajos believe no one, but God, is perfect, so if they make a blanket, it must have a mistake even if it is a deliberate mistake.  Never fear, I make plenty of mistakes all on my own!

 

I started out to include the state outlines but they just did not work so I took them off.

 

Lyn, I will do Nebraska today and get all of them in the mail tomorrow.  I still need to do the write up for the states.

Hawaii, Ohio and Michigan arrived today and they look wonderful. Just a few more states and I will be able to start putting the strips together.

Lyn my square from Texas will go out in the mail tomorrow.  This is a picture of what I came up with.
