Goodbye to 2013: Dustin's Blocks

Alice's Flag by Dustin Cecil

I chose to do this Block of the Week on Women's Rights in the year 2013 because 1913, a century ago, was such an active period in the fight. That last year before the first World War promised so much.



Goodbye to the Centennial year of Pre-War Life with a gallery of a few of Dustin Cecil's Grandmother's Choice blocks. He made two sets. These blocks are from his Scrappy group.

"My second set is going to be totally blind pulls from my scrap box. Anything goes." sez he.



He often added seams and changed the blocks to fit his scraps

What a scrap box he must have!

  2. Dustin Cecil has an "eye" for color combination and design that is different from any other quilter's that I've ever seen. I've so enjoyed seeing his blocks! Thanks, Barbara, for featuring his work.

  4. thanks guys. I just have half of my scrappy sue, and my hero crown applique, then to think about the scrappy setting. My scrap box is pretty amazing, it is the same old ratty cardboard box that was mailed to me in college postmark may 10 2001. it's covered in stickers, and kittens, and cows. it's seen a lot of snippets come and go, get used, and used up.

    Happy New Year Everyone!

  12. A heartfelt farewell in 'Goodbye to 2013: Dustin's Blocks,' capturing the essence of memories and reflection. The blog beautifully encapsulates the passing year, prompting introspection akin to pondering 'how old is dolores in encanto.' As we bid adieu to 2013, the blog invites us to appreciate the transient nature of time.
