My Barbara Brackman Civil War Blocks
After two shots at it I managed eventually to get the Seven Sisters Block to look O.K. Unfortunately I did what a beginner would maybe do, and I should have known better. I cut my background bigger – thats correct, but I forgot to mark where my 8” came to. Lucky for me my stars only just fit inside the 1/4” seam allowance.
Boy were those points hard work. I was determined not to machine applique, as to me it would be wrong for that era, But that’s only my opinion. 
Next I managed without to much trouble to make Block 4
TEXAS TEARS
Now looking forward to Block 5.
Thanks for dropping by

You did a great job on those stars!
Great blocks Sue and I know where you are coming from with those points. I blamed the fabric I used for the stars and next time there is a challenge like this I will use a very fine weave fabric. Happy stitching!
Great work on the Stars block, and your 4th block. I used reverse applique for my stars, and my star tips aren't perfect either, I'm sure we will be getting more applique practice LOL!
Your blocks look terrific!! Nice work!
What a great job you did on those stars, they are really putting me off, so I may go ahead and do the other two before I tackle them. You have chosen beautiful fabrics too.
