These words have haunted me for a couple years, since I decided that I liked Civil War prints and wanted some..it has taken me quite awhile to collect several different pieces (not easy to get up here)..I was lucky Miss Fairy in Adelaide sent me a few awhile back and I scored some in an op shop –bonus bigtime…
Anyways when I stumbled upon Barbara Brackmans Blog, I just new the time was right to start cutting into them fabrics. Have you seen her Civil War Quilts blog –how awesome to have a block to make an a historical story to go with each block..don’t know how far my fabric will stretch but I’m going to go with the flow..
This is block 1 I am so happy with it..the darker fabric was a real score cost me a whole $1.50 for ½mt at one of the local Op shops..
I’m sure some of the fabric I use won’t be traditional Civil War Prints but if it blends in then it will be sewn.
Cheers for now Vickie
Thanks for stopping by.
