ok these blocks I will stitch all of them tonight, but that last one is going to be fighting me the whole way. It may take the whole day tomorrow to do that block. I have to get two more blocks like this staged and ready to stitch on Wednesday and Thursday. Those pieces I have already cut out so that is good.
Some of my fabrics for my Civil War Quilts. Now I have no idea how far I will get in my blocks but I want to make my quilts a bit different than Jane. I figure her quilt is one unique quilt that was ever made. Imagine the time of year she quilted her quilt.What was going on with America at that time and how people felt. WOW amazing is all I can say. So for me to honor her ,I will go as far as I can.
In doing so I will travel my own road and journey in making my blocks. Oh yes stitched by hand. So far I have had to make a few blocks over, but that is ok because the rejects I am making a tiny doll bed quilt for a tiny bed. I see that as a BONUS ding ding ding~
I am for sure going to have to buy more fabrics. I do not have enough if I use each fabric one time,which I intend to do. THE HUNT IS ON!
The first of my 3 quilts.
I am making a red, cream blue combination.
Gold & brown combination with splashes of red.
A multi color fabrics but with more green.
I do not think at this point I will make bed size quilts we will see how I feel as I go along making my blocks :)
I will not be adding any black to these quilt tops as during the Civil War black fabrics that were used in quilts were only made of silks and wool. To make my quilts more somber I will make some blocks using a darker toned colors. Ok now back to work as I am hand stitching all the block tops together. Ciao for now ,I shall post more photos later this week~
