This is my scrappy inspiration - I think I tore this out of a Quilter's World magazine???? Well some magazine, with the hopes to use it to manage some of my Civil War fabrics. These are obviously 4" blocks, but believe it or not - I am going with 8". I love tiny, but the goal is to eat up those fabrics and a larger block will do that.
I have just a few more ladder blocks to make and all the pieces have been cut. I'm keeping these all red/green so I don't have to play around with setting and trying to keep same color blocks touching.
All of the 'color' parts are cut for the star blocks and now I have to cut the shirtings. I made a 'dent' in my Civil War prints and I should clear out a lot of the smaller pieces of shirting before I cut into some of the yardage.
Its to be a rainy day and my only interruption is taking Bella a mile up the road to the Vet for her annual check up and shots. Even the veteranary is isolating. I have to call from the parking lot and they will come out and get her, and then deliver her back to me in the lot. Bella is a very nervous cat, so it will be interesting to see how she handles this.
Stay Safe and Healthy,
Sewingly Yours,

The pattern is actually for 3" blocks! I made mine 6" and I absolutely love it. It's from a book called Beyone the Battlefield.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful inspiration quilt! Looking forward to seeing yours as well.
