Nearly Insane Block # 71
Oops that looks a little off – some fudging needed there I think.
and Block # 34
I enjoyed this one. You can’t beat a nice Star Block.
The background fat 1/4 I bought for $1 at a stall at a show. :-)
And Block # 40
I have also made my Barbara Brackman Blocks.
I usually get into them on Sunday morning when they arrive in my mail box, but when Block 6 arrived I didn’t have time. Before I knew it, it was Saturday, and I thought if I don’t get onto it, the next one would be here, and I would start lagging behind.
So…. I cut my fabric and sewed merrily along, only to find the rows didn’t match or fit. Darn I knew I should have checked what others had done. Its good because all those who get stuck in straight away, seem to iron out any cutting errors. I checked then re cut and Viola a lovely block.
Block 6 - Richmond
And Block 7 Log Cabin
Even this block needed a little caution in the cutting.
Thanks for dropping by

Love your blocks Susanna, yes the Richmond block was a challenge but EQ came to the rescue to work out what each of the 9 segments should measure. I decided to add an extra row for the log cabin myself.
Looking at your lovely blocks I see there are some fabrics that I have used, loved and treasured, some old pieces, you must have a great stash!!!
You've sure been busy. I enjoy your penchant for Civil War/reproduction sorts of prints and designs. I don't go for those myself, perhaps because we see them so often here, but it's fun to see your progress with them. Great work!
Hi Sue! I started my Civil War Diary Quilt at the beginning of the year and I have been blogging about each block as I work on it. Feel free to stop by and visit 'Civil War Saturdays' at http://quiltdoodledesigns.blogspot.com/
I love your blocks you have done, they are beautiful!
Looking good Suzie, reminding me I have some catching up to do! Thanks for the nudge!
