There are three of these blocks though you cannot see the third. They are left over from the project HERE. I always keep something on the back of Roger's chair.
I wanted and needed something new for his chair, and had been thinking off and on what I might make. I even considered just doing two fabrics and quilting them. Per usual, I could not make a decision. So, I thought and thought some more, and got to thinking about how he loves Civil War Reproduction fabrics, and I thought that is the fabric to use, no matter what I make.
I pulled out the container of the fabrics and found these three blocks...they are perfect for this. And now they will be used. I added the sashing strip between the blocks and did the one border. And will do at least one more border. One of the reproductions fabrics I have is green, so I may use it since it is Roger's favorite color.
I want to get to sew some on it today, but also need to do another chore or two. So it may be tonight before I get up there.
What a good idea! And as usual, your sewing is always impeccable.
ReplyDeleteI like Civil War fabrics but just don't use them often. Please show a photo when it's done.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Civil War fabrics. I will explore…
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI like these fabrics. It's nice that you found a use for the blocks. Would love to see it when you are finished
ReplyDeleteI like this and really like the border fabric. I am in the group that never heard of civil war fabric, but then why would I, the only sewing I do is putting Bob's buttons back on his shorts.
ReplyDeleteYour block are looking pretty! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly lovely and I have joined the group of having no knowledge of Civil War Fabrics. Fascinating. I really like your project a lot.
