This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Re-Piecing the Past: Civil War Blocks Then & Now »

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Traditional


Materials

Civil War Reproduction and French Reproduction fat quarters

What was your inspiration?

Kay England! I've always loved her work and have wanted to take a class from her. Now I can! :)

What are you most proud of?

Completing the first 6 blocks and maintaining a scrappy look.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It's hard not to press before the block is done, but it does keep the block more square. Just be careful that the seams don't "fold" and crease away from the true seam.
