Civil War Love Letters quilts had caught my eye a couple of years ago. I bought the book but was discouraged when I saw the blocks and some of their complexity. I decided that the only way I would get a quilt like this done was to take a class that would motivate me to start it and keep going. So that is what I am doing. We meet on the first Tuesday of every month. One month we do five blocks; the next month we do six blocks. The 121 blocks should be done in approximately twenty-two months. Seems like a long time. But each block is time consuming. Each block is paper-pieced. Some are quite quick and easy. Some take me time than you realize. Others you just know they will take quite a bit of time. But it is fun all the same. I have most of the first row done. Here are pics of the blocks I have finished. The last one is getting there.
I think this is my favorite color comb so far.
Wow! Did this one drive me nuts!
I decided that the pattern in the blue MUST be perfect.
What was I thinking!
This one I also liked the color comb in.
I have to finish this one up yet. Plus three more to be where I need to be by Tuesday. Wish me luck.
Til next time.
Chow.
