    Thanks for looking!
    Are you following this color way or are you using all sorts of scraps? Pretty shade of blue!

    It's going to be scrappy, though I'm thinking there's going to be a predominance of the blue. They are all coming out onto my design wall now, and as I work along on the next, I'll be trying to keep an eye on what is blending or what sticks out like a sore thumb .... and needs to be blended!

    And thank you to EVERYONE, for dropping by with comments ... I think I'm going to need them to help me stay on track and get them done! It's taking a LOT of time to make every block!

    Here's hoping the next bunch I make are quicker makes than the last few have been! :)

    "Okay so glad" blocks one and two are done. I'm using Civil War fabrics for this. So far I now have 6 blocks done. Doubt it's a color way you'd think about doing, QuiltE....LOL We'll keep plugging away at it. Remember the inital quilt along was to do 2 a week.
    Thanks for looking!

    I like those! The colors will make such a soft serene quilt. Great job!

    Yeaaaa ... Another Farmers Wife, or perhaps I should say another Farmer? comes on board! :)

    Oh I do like those, very much indeed!!!!!
    This is going to make for a nice mix. I usually think of Civil War prints as blah, dull, dirty, lifeless .... though the pink and turquoise have my attention, giving it some life.. I like the femininity they bring to what I perceived as CW!

    Would blend nicely with my Shabby Chic Quilt!!

    Now please do show us the other four!! :)
    (I'm about to post #3+4)

    Lovely blocks. Your fabric makes those blocks look beautiful.

    Thanks for the kind comments.

    I have collected several FQ and snippets of CW prints and the variety is endless. You should see some of the greens! Far from lifeless! QuiltE here are my other 4.
