Thanks sewbizgirl. Here's block #2 Woven Time. This has been hard for me because I had no civil war fabrics and there aren't many available where I shop...Wal Mart and Hobby Lobby mostly. So I am making do.
Boston Mom....I have found the secret to making good blocks is making sure every single element is the size it is supposed to be after sewing. I use small square up rulers all the time when I am sewing. I rarely have to trim a block down, because I spend a lot of extra time with getting it right the first time. And you have to know how to sew a scant quarter. I use a 1/4" foot when I sew. It makes all the difference in the world for accurate sewing for me. Look forward to seeing some of your projects.

OOPS! Forgot to add the block.
