Here are my two renditions of block # 1. I used civil war fabrics and then some left over Fresh Lilacs for the purple one. I don't do things right the first time, so I must make another one. She gives you the instructions and then the block is just one page and it refers to the instructions which you were to print out and put in a notebook. I find that my design wall helps a great deal. I'm having a great learning time with this.....after taking a break from En Provence which is not going well.

Just beautiful, DottyD!
And both of yours are so lovely too, Battle Axe!
I love being able to share and see what everyone is putting together for their blocks. I hope to get to mine later today.

It's lovely, Jane... that black fabric is so cool!
Well I drove out to Vicksburg today looking for Civil War pinks. Stitch N Frame is "the" CW fabric store in the state, being located just a few miles from the Vicksburg CW Military Park, that's on the actual battlegrounds. Even there the double pinks were hard to find! I got a few, but it was really all they had. Ended up picking up a half dozen Kaffe Fassett prints out of the remnant bin for half off, tho! That was a good score for later.

Here is one I made for a Christmas quilt... still haven't made the Civil War block in this pattern yet.

Oops, excuse me... this was a block from the previous PTP QAL, "Peace and Healing".
