My advice, I make Civil War dresses and working on my first quilt, the bottom fabric with the big flowers is not quite correct. They usually say the flowers were no bigger than a penny. Even the one next to it with the with, then pink and blue fabric I have not seen before either. And I never seen the blue one in the middle before either.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I have seen in the stores and also on the fields at events.
Enjoy your project.

Reserving the right to change these :) but I am thinking:

Blueish - Ts
Brown and Pink - Star
Burgundy blueish - Shoo

All with teaish backgrounds.

Here's my first stab at fabrics. The farthest right is dull green; the left is rust; the others are brown. Looking for some plum or maybe more green.

Evie-- Does the print in the third stack feel CW? Let me know if I need to find something else or go shopping! :rolleyes:--I think this really feels CW!

Lovely fabrics folks, picked mine out today--will get pics later.

Oh lordy, I would LOVE to be in this swap. Maybe next one. I'll keep a lookout on those who post their blocks later on :)

After going through my stash, I realized I don't have a lot of prints that will work in the quantity needed, so I ordered a bunch online today. Will post pics when they arrive. :)

The top blue on stack 1 is a little brighter than it looks, more a "cadet" blue with navy print. The dark in stack 2 is really a dark brown with (either) a darker brown or black print. The "white" on the third stack is actually a tan. I guess the camera's flash whitened it a bit. Does the print in the third stack feel CW? Let me know if I need to find something else or go shopping! :rolleyes:

Evie, as long as the 'white' in the third stack is tan, your color choices are perfect. I love the sets you put together.
