I joined recently ans went ahead and purchased the kit. We have one quilt shop locally and it's just not my style. There are several shops all over this part of NC but the closest one is aboit 25 miles with the rest a whole lot farther - and besides I'm just plain lazy!!!! The fabrics in the kit are exactly what I like with a few that will stretch my colorbox. I have everything printed out so far and just need to get a good sized binder - will put the pages into clear top loading pages. I like binders!!! Sure hope mine come out as beautifully as yours. Need to clean a few things cleaned up so I can reach my machine.

Nice block, Christine!

I will be following along but not starting it yet. I have a few sewing projects I want to finish first.

I wasn't going to do this one as the quilts ready to quilt are stacking up. But maybe I will. These blocks are 12 inchers and that would add up fast. I STILL have this huge tub of fresh lilac fabrics and scraps that have been calling to me. Anxious to see Ladyinpurple's blocks with the kit. Sew glad to see this thread up. It's my social media.

I'll be following along again, but not sewing. I'll have to build up my collection of Civil War prints before I can do justice to these patterns.

Beautiful blocks, Christine and Mary! It's amazing how different the blocks can look depending on the fabric choices.

Pretty first block, Mary! I like your fabric choices.

I might... just for the camaraderie. I didn't like this quilt at all, at first, but now it's starting to grow on me. Might squeeze in the time for a block a week. We'll see how I do with my other projects.

It's funny you said this... because I was thinking of doing this one with other-than-civil-war fabrics. I do have a lot of them collected tho, from Rest and Refreshing. I also have a huge stash of 1930's repros left from a Farmer's Wife quilt. I might use my 30's!
