A few close ups...
I made a couple of changes and used some silk ribbon for flower buds and I beaded the centres of the pink flowers. I also used metallic star charms for the flag.
Overall I am quite happy with the block, but I know the next block will be easier (and hopefully better) for all I have learned while making this block.
Here are my next 2 Barbara Brackman Civil War blocks.
Two of my DD's friends have recently had babies. My DD wanted to make a quilt each for them, so over the last 2 weeks I have been teaching her how to put a quilt together.
She has one almost finished.
I am still having problems with blogger!! I have changed my bloglist settings so that now only the most recent 5 postings are shown. You can still see all the others by clicking on the "show all" tool at the bottom of the bloglist.
Today I am starting my Roseville Album quilt!! :)
busy at your house with the sewing....great to show you daughter how to make the quilts........
ReplyDeleteThe Baltimore block is fabulous Miriam and lovely CW blocks again, I'm still behind on those - trying to finish off some abandoned projects. Looking forward to seeing your Roseville - are you using Kaffe fabrics or something different? I was looking longingly at my Hearts and Flowers quilt yesterday and wanting to pay it some attention! Looks like your daughter is definitely a quilter in the making :)

ReplyDeleteYour Friends of Baltimore block is amazing! Would you like to link it at today's BOMs AWAY "party"? It would look so fabulous there, as well as your Civil War blocks. (Is that silver in the fabric, or is it a white on white?) If you'd like to put this post of yours in the linky party, here's the URL: http://whatahootquilts.blogspot.com/2011/07/boms-away-monday-10-and-hst-tip.html
