In those days, young men became adults or gained their freedom when they turned 21 I believe, at which point female relatives and friends would band together to make a quilt to celebrate. Making a block each year on his birthday didn't sound like an imposition and each year's block would reflect some event in his life. I've also discovered it is a bit of a history of my quilting journey as well. I may regret this when the planned 20 blocks come back to me to be joined and quilted for his 21st birthday...I hope I can make them play nicely together!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-44764645396998349902009-09-17T08:56:54.562-07:002009-09-17T08:56:54.562-07:00So, this kid gets a block every year until... he&#...So, this kid gets a block every year until... he's free?
