OH MY!!! I showed my top to my neighbor today and she said it looks "Native American"! I hope not... I wanted it to be antique looking! All my fabrics are Civil War, but I guess I can see that it might have a Native American flair. She's not a quilter, but now she has me second guessing my choices

I'm having a terrible time, totally mental block, on this block. ( # 18) Finally, I said: I don't have to do it that way. I just need a block with those colors and done. I still don't have the civil war fabric version done. But the fresh lilacs one is almost done.
Probably my fault with my color sight problems. I could not see that E and F color difference.

Marcia, it's your quilt. You can change anything in it. Make it easy on yourself... These last two blocks were the hardest. All those tiny hsts and flying geese! Challenging, and for me they took a long time to build. I'm just glad the whole quilt is not made of those blocks. One each was hard enough!
edited to add: Marcia, I just looked at the pattern to see what you meant about the E and F colors. There is only one red, and the Fs are a whole square of it. The Es are half square triangles of the red and the neutral. On mine, I changed the two E-HSTs to one flying geese. It eliminated the seam in the middle.

Finished the fresh lilacs set of 18. The little blocks are done and now anxiously awaiting tomorrow's instructions. My civil war set is lousy compared to these. I think I practiced on the civil war fabric. I hope Debbie is not offended by all my mistakes. Probably take some of the left over blue border for the corner stones.[ATTACH=CONFIG]579600[/ATTACH]

That purple/green set is just gorgeous, Marcia! I'm sure your civil war ones are too.
The next weekly instruction is week 19, which she sent out early because so many of us were asking for it to create the border blocks with our scraps as we went along... So we may get week 19 again tomorrow. Wishing for Week 20 so I can finish up!
