Once again, I'm caught up with the Civil War Quilt blog. There were five Saturdays in July, thus five blocks were introduced. This is Block #27, Irish Chain.
Block #28, Next Door Neighbor. The directions said to use as many different fabrics as possible.
Block #29, Railroad Crossing. I used one of my striped fabrics and changed the dimensions on the railroad portion of my block. I have also been fussy cutting flowers from some fabric which was included in a Lewis & Clark commemoration fabric pack from 2004.
Block #30, Peterson's Stars and Stripes. I finally got brave and appliqued this larger star on top of various stripes.
Block #31, Empty Spools. I recently picked up the wood grained fabric as a remnant. I thought it was fitting for an empty spool.I have been busy with other sewing projects, but finally got to the July blocks over the weekend. I never skip reading the Civil War History part each Saturday, but I often postpone making the quilt block.
