Civil War...Ohmygosh thats small quilt blocks
Have seen alot of quilts on pinterest like this so had to try them using my scraps, love love love civil war fabrics! Using 1 inch strips of cw fabrics and premium muslin to make the 9 patches and 2 inch squares for in between. I must be crazy! LOL

Your work is beautiful. I could never have the patience to sew something that small, but I most certainly admire those that do. Keep on being a little bit crazy. Can't wait to see your upcoming work. Maybe it will inspire me. I've been thinking about some type of handwork piecing and about double your size of blocks would be the smallest I could consider starting with.

Well you may be crazy but what a wonderful crazy. That quilt is gorgeous. Great use of Civil War fabrics.
Do you have a pattern name? I might just get a little (or a lot?) crazy one of these days too.
