ANOTHER LITTLE CIVIL WAR OVER


Oh dear! I have just completed one of my little Civil War quilts but still have 2 more to baste and hand quilt. Then, ofcourse, there is the one that I am still hand piecing and had forgotten about. I have taken this opportunity to try out my new camera and the program it came with. I hope it works okay. So, here is the quilt I have finally completed.




                                                                And the label.





Each day I aspire to complete a border around a hexie flower for my Insanity quilt. So far I have done 20 something but have quite a few to go yet.


 
 
Quite a while ago I finished all of the stitcheries for the Once Upon A Time quilt. However, I recently discovered that I had neglected to stitch the border lines around each block. Perhaps I went a bit cross eyed after all that stitching. So, I am trying to complete them by doing one block per day .
 
 
 
 
I am itching to start cutting the bright spotty Kaffe Fasset Jelly Roll and fabrics for this quilt. But,I guess I will have to wait a while longer now. Ah well! I am off to my sewing room to baste one of the other little Civil War quilts ready to hand quilt. Working out how to quilt it is proving to be quite a challenge but I am sure some inspiration will strike......eventually.
 
Angel Blessings to you all.

  7. great finish on your mini!
    love your once upon a time, mine is still waiting to be quilted but I must admit I love it as a flimsy too. Did you use different coloured threads for the other blocks?
    Can't wait to see it coming together into a top.
    Great progress on your hexies too. Slow and steady wins the race
