I found these panels of Civil War Union and confederate generals for the center. All the rest of the fabric is Civil War reproductions. Its a king size and I just love the history it shows! The small blocks in the corners are maps of battlegrounds

I finished Jaba's block tonight. I was disappointed that the ombre didn't show more but over all happy w/ how it turned out. The colors that show on my monitor are not true. The purple isn't blue like, it is the same real purple that the flowers are.

The triangles are epp. I didn't want to face Y seams tonight, and given a choice of sewing Y seams or epp, I'll take epp every time

Jeb fantastic quilt, I've never seen panels like that before.

Kass-beautiful block. I know epp is English Paper piecing, but what exactly is that.

This is beautiful! I love the panels and the tiny maps in the corners. My son would love that quilt! The one I'm doing is sampler blocks by Barbara Brachman from her book, Civil War Sampler. I love the 8" finished size of the blocks. Just taking my time making a few blocks here and there.

Your ombre is showing up as a pretty purple on my monitor, Kass. Lovely block! I'm the opposite: Would rather do some quick Y seams on the machine than hand sew the triangles in. Yours do look absolutely perfect, tho.

How about that Billi, the quoting thing worked!

i'm way behind on my post reading. This only scratches the surface. Also am still looking at ljdugas's block so it's not yet done. I hope to get into my sewing room tomorrow. Been dealing with mom's health issues a lot in the last few days and a household project or two but the sewing machine still beckons.

kass, it's a lovely block.

We made a row by row quilt and she turned it into a quilt shop. She got a nice bootie of fat quarters, her favorites in fact. She went home today, oh darn. My little elf has left the studio. She even finished up a quilt top for me which was really nice. I need it done for the quilt show. Such a sweet gal and wonderful to be with. Now I have to do my own sewing. Hmmm, so much for that. HA HA
