Barbara Brackman's Civil War Block #1

Must participate in this. It will be fun to try to stay on task with fabric selection.

I am making the blocks 6" and will be popping photos of the finished blocks into the EQ diagram as I go. The signature star block might look nice in the four corners:

Thank you for doing this, Barbara, I had not yet gotten involved with any of the Civil War quilt projects that are available and I did want to make a quilt to commemorate it.

Where did you get the pattern for the quilt?

I'm in on this one too. One block a week will be a workable pace, and who better to follow than a true quilt historian?
Is the EQ chart available online or is it only for those with their own EQ program?

I look forward to watching your progress. Your first block is great!

Good for you taking out those unnecessary seams. I don't like sewing the same fabric together,it's such a waste of time. I do like this block, so I might do it your way now.

I am all about this one as well! I can't tell you how excited I was when I read Barbara's blog and skipped over to her dedicated one.
Love your first block...will be cutting mine tonight and if all goes well (fingers crossed) I'll even fire up the sewing machine!

Your block turned out great...I drafted out the 6" one and am trying to decide which size to make. I'm so glad Barbara is sharing the blocks on her blog!

Looks like a fun project, I'm trying not to be tempted this time, but look forward to seeing your progress.

What a cool project! I didn't even realize that Barbara Brackman was doing this. I look forward to seeing yours as it comes together. :)
