Selling The Livestock

Finished three more blocks for my quilts while going down the road today. More stitching tomorrow and preparing more blocks~

Travel

Going down the road today so I will take a block or two to stitch up while we do a day trip. Simple square patterns are at the top of my stack of Civil War blocks so hopefully I will get one finished if not two. Have a great Saturday everyone, and happy sewing ~

My Newest Civil War Reproduction Fabrics

Here are some of my new fabrics for my 3 Civil War quilts. So I am happy with my progress of these quilts. The journey continues as I read the 121 stories about the Civil War in this quilting book.

Silly Silly Silly Me

I guess my readers think I am crazy but I guess I was so excited to start my 3 Dear Jane quilts I pulled the wrong book off my shelf. I am thinking Civil War and the Dear Jane so they got mushed together. Well then I guess I am ahead of the game on these 3 quilts from this book. Alas there sits on a table my Dear Jane book with not one block made. Ha I am on a journey alright ,but on a different road and not with Dear Jane. So now to continue these Civil War quilts from Rosemary's book. So the happy thoughts about my mix-up is I get to go fabric hunting again for new fabric's before I start my 3 Dear Jane quilts. Back to the thought process of what fabric I will use for the background of these quilts. Oh JOY !!!!!!

Sewing My Blocks

As I sew my blocks I will post the finished blocks beside the blocks I first posted. I am try to keep the precut and finished blocks together. It seems that my blocks are growing in the book like rabbits,but I have to remind myself,I am making 3 blocks of each pattern for my 3 quilts. I already see those patterns are going to drive me nuts. I may have to take a break for a cup of hot tea and chocolate cookie ~

Sugar Cane

Meeting General Lee

Abomination Of Desolation

Rose fabric will come out for a more dark unhappy fabric~

Splendid Victory

Soldier's Box

The Noble Third

Church

Ok now with more consideration the Old Abe fabric is now going into a different block called Old Abe Lincoln . I have other plans for the Church block. I find I will be tweaking a lot of blocks as I start to sew them together~

Southern Flags And Patriotism

Death Penalty

Now this pre block looks crazy but once I get it sewn together it will be perfect~ The triangles are under the strips~

Foragers

Picket Lines

e Placing my pieces of blocks together are all rough around the edges but in my scheme of quilting it works for me~
