Going good so far today. Got the rest of the pieces in the pic sewn together and pressed, the other 24 CW pieces are sewn to the ivory and ready to cut into sections, and half of the small ivory pieces are cut.

Really hope I can get to the HSTs this weekend and start assembling the blocks! I still need to buy, or find in my stash, the green for the vines. Which reminds me that I want to try the tool that makes fusable bias tape. That's a lot of vine to do and anything to make it quicker and easier...

You got a beauty on your hands there. It's going to look even more amazing.

what are CW Fabrics? I really get lost with all the, maybe a tutorial of all of the initials would be helpful to us newbies.

CW stands for Civil War reproduction fabrics.

I think there is a list of abbreviations in the tutorials section.

Beautiful :D Mind if I ask what the pattern is or did you design this yourself?

I really enjoy watching your work in progress. You are very meticulous in each step. It shows in the final beautiful quilts you make. I've been "phantom" watching you for years. Enjoy the rest of the project.

The block pattern is from the May 2010 issue of American Quilter. The magazine has it done in blue/pink/yellow batiks but I thought it would look good in the CW fabrics. It has an old fashioned look to me with the tiny squares, they're only 1 1/4" finished size. I added the border design.

Thank you for enjoying the process. I have found over the years that good piecing doesn't magically happen for me and it takes attention to detail. I try to keep organized and do each step otherwise I tend to make mistakes too.

This is going to be so beautiful. I collect CW fabrics and I plan on starting a Dear Jane quilt in the future. It will be great when you finish and I can hardly wait to see the finished quilt.
