Civil war blocks

Barbara Brackmans Civil War Quilts block a week.

Finally I have done block 4, man that block nearly did my head in..I cannot do triangles –nope no siree just can’t do them proper…Seriously I sewed and unsewed that block so many times it ended up in the bin (thanks for that tip Lyn).

Tonight I started a fresh and still managed to flop it so I said to self “ok one more time and if it don’t work then there will be no block 4 for me), well I have made it and now it’s a smidge bigger then it should be-guess what whoopdeedo it’s done.

And when I took the photo I remembered I had not posted a picture of block 3 ..

P1040695

Block 3 Seven Sisters.

P1040696

Block 4 Texas Tears ..and yep nearly tears making it.

Love the story that Barbara has with this block.

Cheers Vickie

Thanks for stopping by.

Well done you are going GREAT!

Was it the needle turning that was a problem or??? I am trying to be quietly confident when I tackle this block I will finish it!
