Battle Axe, your lilac fabric in your blocks are stunning! Like everyone else has commented, I too love that color combination. I can't wait to see them completed in your quilt!

So pretty and feminine!

Wonderful combination of colours Battle Axe, so pretty.
Thanks for the lovely comments about my Dear Jane. In making that quilt, I learnt so many techniques and now run a small DJ group here in the UK and seeing their quilts coming together in so many different colour ways is a delight.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]574034[/ATTACH]Here are my first 6 in civil war fabrics. I started to make a 3rd set in Christmas and I have 3 blocks done, but I am so far behind on other stuff that I think I'll just forego the Christmas ones. Maybe closer to Christmas.

Love seeing these beautiful blocks all together. It really gives a good idea of what the quilt will end up looking like.

I am way behind you all. Thought I'd get my block made this weekend but got an "SOS" email from my charity group for urgently needed quilt restocking... so this weekend I need to be quilting some of these tops I have made. It's all good. I probably won't get to my R&R block before the next one comes out, next week.

Rainy morning here today so I finished the block for this week. With all of the half square triangles in this block I thought I would use my Go for cutting them. As it turned out, I may lose some of my points anyway, grrr. I'm also posting the blocks for the past two weeks.[ATTACH=CONFIG]574042[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]574043[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]574044[/ATTACH] Jan

Wow! I like that idea. So you are making multiple blocks but from different fabrics. Will you keep all three quilts?
