Block Progress

Here's the latest Farmer's Wife blocks.  I was following along a fellow quilter's blog but decided to become a renegade after measurements for a number of blocks were wrong! I hate that. So anyway, I've been going through my quilt books digging up six inch blocks to make.

A few pics of my favorites, I don't think anyone wants to see each block!

This brings my total up to 75, only 25 to go and I can start putting them together.
I found this video on youTube and I found it fascinating. I've always wondered how quilting fabric was made! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Rail Fence Top

Here's another rendition using my Civil War Reproduction fabrics.  I was on automatic sewing these tops up while streaming the Orlando Trial (I can't bring myself to attach a name to the trial in view of its outcome) last June. 

A closeup look at the top.

I think this was one of the last tops I made so the Civil War fabrics were running low so I added some fabric from my stash.  This is my last scheduled post---hope to be back blogging tomorrow from home.  Keeping my fingers crossed Blogger does what I've told it to.  Thanks for looking.
Talk to you later~

Another Top

Continuing on from yesterday, I'm not nuts about this one, but it sure did use up some fabric.

Here's a closer look.

Thanks for stopping by~

This is quilt two from the Reproduction fabric marathon I talked about yesterday.

And a close-up.  I apologize for the wrinkles.  No time to press them out.  These tops are large!  I really need to resolve to get them quilted.  More tomorrow.

Pomp and Circumstance

I'm on my way to St. Louis for my DD's college graduation, yay!  For the next few days I've scheduled some pictures of quilts I made during  June 2011 but never shown.  It was during that famous six-week trial in Orlando, Florida.  I think you know who I mean.  I think of them in my mind as The Trial Quilts.  I had a large basket of Civil War Reproduction fabrics and decided to sew until I ran out.  I made almost a top a week! No patterns used but they're all simple and went together fairly quickly.  And no, I never did get to the bottom of the basket but did make a huge dent.  Stay tuned.
