Just got a few blocks done and laid out side by side. These are from Civil War era charm squares that I got on line. Still got a long ways to go, there are 288 blocks total( 132 pieced)
|
I laid those out wrong they will actually be on point!
|
Still look good that way!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Purty!
|
looking good!!!
Can't wait to see the finished quilt |
After the last 2 quilts I have to do kind of a no brainer type quilt, I am more excited about the fabric than the actual pattern.
|
I think the simplicity of the pattern and the large centre patches will just make a person notice the fabric so much more, beautiful fabric! Show us more as you go :)

I have probs matching that kind of work up, great job :D :D |
No matter how they are laid out, It's still VERY pretty. I can't wait to see it done
|
Going to be great, I see what you mean about the fabric . It's great in a simple pattern :D
|
Loretta, I am going to do the URR. Still collecting fabric for it. Thinking on getting the Barbara Brackman book first, I have E.B's but want to see which I like better.
|
I love your quilt! I LOVE Civil War reproduction fabrics and have a nice stash-would love to share some with you if you need more! Just PM me with your addy and I will be happy to put some in the mail to you. Some of mine are 4-5 years old, so you may not have them.... :)
|
Thanks Marcia!!! I just get all squishy about civil war fabrics!!! :lol: :shock:
|
Loreta, did you check out the site Ruth posted on your thread "Making an underground Railroad Quilt" That is a great site
|
Got all 132 pieced blocks done and 156 alternate blocks cut out still got to do setting triangles, Im getting there! woo hoo!!!
|
Looking great so far! I love your fabrics :mrgreen:
|
Looks GREAT!!!!
|
Anymore pictures fo us to see? Love it so far.
|
FABULOUS fabric! (Some of that also lives with me! :) )

That is going to be one fine piece of work. Sneak peeks are great, but I know this one won't do it justice once it's all finished.
Can't wait to see. As I like to exclaim, I know a good thing when I see it. And your blocks as they're turning out are going to make a great quilt. My first impression sees it on an overstuffed leather chair in a library surrounded by books echoing of times past. |

These are just laid out on the floor. If you see any that need to be moved because of too much light or dark in one spot tell me Please!!!
|
Wow!! I saw that pattern and it scared me so I didn't get it. :lol: That looks fabulous!!! You've worked hard and it shows!! So Civil War(ish) looking....
|
Karla, its not hard at all! Its just an uneven 9 patch and alternate block. Pretty much a no brainer.
|
WOW! I really like your quilt! Looks better on point too.
|
That is fantastic, wow can you imagine doing that all by hand?
|
You did a great job with these blocks!!! I think it looks awesome just how you have it laid out!!!

Take a deep breath and look at it. It's a single Irish Chain. They don't come any easier. Instead of even 9 patch blocks for the chain you make the strip set for the middle with a slightly wider middle piece and cut that section into slightly wider slices. You can do it in your sleep! tim in san jose |
That looks really pretty! Love it!
Keep up the good work.... |
WOW!!!!
Looks good to me. Kirsten |
Oh I just love this....it is amazingly effective....can you explain about the uneven 9 patch again..... :? m Do you mean that the centre cross is wider than the two outside edges???
|
WOW keep up the good work.
|
oh my very, very nice. I just love how it looks and i don't think you need to change any of the blocks around. PERFECT 8)
|
Oh my gosh girl. THAT IS GORGEOUS.. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Oh, Melissa-that is just stunning!!! I want one too!!! It is amazing how you can take such a simple pattern and make it SO STRIKING :thumbup:
|
Karla, its not hard at all! Its just an uneven 9 patch and alternate block. Pretty much a no brainer. It's a single Irish Chain. They don't come any easier. All those little quite blocks in a nice neat row made me pass it by. :roll: Mark chose a different pattern... maybe I'll let him decide if he likes this one better. :D It looks just awesome all together. I don't see a block I'd move. |

I didnt strip peice it, which was sort of a pain but these were all cut from 5" in charms sqs, but it would be very easy to strip peice it! does this make sense? |
That is so nice. Looks good to me. You have been really hard at work, haven't you?
|
Looks great!!
