The States Of Modern Quilt Block Of The Week: Georgia

Many years ago, near the end of WWII, my folks spent their honeymoon in Georgia.  Throughout their marriage, they spoke glowingly of their time there.  I’ve always wanted to visit there and one day I shall.  In the meantime, I present my States of Modern Georgia block.states of modern Georgia

Here is some info about Georgia…

Capital: Atlanta
Admission to Statehood: January 2, 1788 (4th State)
Flag:  The Georgia flag has three red and white stripes and the state coat of arms on a blue field in the upper left corner.  Thirteen stars surrounding the seal denotes Georgia’s position as one of the original thirteen colonies. On the seal three pillars supporting an arch represent the three branches of government; legislative, judicial and executive. A man with sword drawn is defending the Constitution, whose principles are wisdom, justice and moderation. The date 1776 represents the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Flag adopted May 8th, 2003.

(I have simplified the Georgia flag for our block.)

Bird: Brown Thrasher

Flower: Cherokee Rose

Largest Cities: Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus 

I hope you are enjoying this blocks as much as I am enjoying designing them!
