Handlebar

Here are the next four blocks, that makes fifty. So, I am past the 7 x 7 arrangement.

Do I want to go up to 8 x 8 and make 64 blocks, or will I go for 7 x 8 for 56 blocks, or 8 x 9 for 72 blocks?

I am going to try a 7 x 8 arrangement, add sashing and fiddle with a border. Hey! That's only 6 more blocks and I already have 2 entire blocks cut out and parts for another 4 blocks cut too....

I want to put more fabrics in the border in some way. I have got so many fabrics that would look splendid with the other Civil War repro beauties! Where did the word "splendid" come from?

Maybe a "moustache" name is wrong for this quilt... what about "Little Miss Splendid"?

Or maybe types of moustaches? I could call this quilt "Handlebar". When I say that out loud it reminds me of the German word "Vundebar!" (Is that how you spell it?).

Handlebars. Not a bad name. Gee! I must be tired. Lucky I'm not sewing right now.
