I have been back to look at (ogle) your quilt several times in the past few days. It is stunning. In fact I like it so much that I just ordered the book. Hope mine looks even half as good as yours. Thank you for sharing.

I belong to a Civil War Sewing Circle group and starting in Jan. we are going to make this quilt as a year long project, probably 5 blocks a month for 10 months. We are all gathering fabrics now and looking forward to it. Your quilt turned out fantastic. Great job.

Lillian followed the original BOW and posted piecing instructions on her own blog. You can search for the individual block names on her blog home page. It was incredibly helpful when I wasn't sure how to tackle certain blocks. If you are a more experienced piecer you won't need it, but I sure did! I also picked a few blocks from Barbara Brackman's original 2011 blog posts in favour of some the blocks in the book (not all the blocks on the blog are in the book, and vice versa). If you scroll way down her home page there is a link to the 2011 block of the week in the left column: http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com.au/ Have fun - I hope you really enjoy the project. |
are there paper piecing instructions? or any blog that shared pp instructions that you know of? I've done 2 jane's and a farmers wife. for some reason I love these little blocks that make a whole.

I love the way you did the background lighter. Beautiful quilt. You should be very proud of yourself.

That is just beautiful.

I like your quilt so much that I bought the book. Now if I can just do half as good a job at making it as you have I will be very happy. Thank you again for sharing. p.s. Love the colours.

What a great quilt, you should be proud

Love this! I love Civil War Quilts. Great job!
