Well I have challenged myself yet again. Since I have strated Applique I have decided to go on a little journey with a dear friend of mine and create my very own civil war bride quilt. I am loving the blocks in the quilt even though they are very difficult and I'm not the best at it but is still very satisfying watching a block grow.
Here is my first block completed. I think that for a beginner I have done well. Even though my birds look like dolphins hahaha.
I am very proud of it and hope that I can do the quilt justice as I go along. Now I wanted to share a link here to my dear friend Eileen's blog who has inspired me to go on the journey with her because If you think I did really well, check out her work on her Civil War Bridal Quilt. http://luvmycrafts.blogspot.com/2011/07/block-5-civil-war-bride-quilt.html this is her block 5 of her quilt.
And one more photo to share. Here is the original which hangs in the American Folk Art Museum. I would love to visit one day and see all the amazing quilts that hang there. http://www.folkartmuseum.org/?p=folk&t=images&id=1739
