It's a combination of 4" and 8" blocks

for a total of 56, which is the number of years that Lincoln lived. There's a theme.

Fascinating fabrics.

Very nice! I like log cabin quilts!

I love it when there’s a “secret” message in a quilt! Oh — have you read “The Secret of the Crazy Quilt?” It’s a middle-grade novel written in maybe the 60s or 70s? (It has nothing to do with Lincoln, just messages.) If you haven’t read it and would like a copy, email me ([e-mail]) with your address. I found an extra copy today while I was sorting boxes and I was going to donate it. It has some really funky black and white illustrations that I love.
