I seem to be falling behind on poor Cassandra’s Circle sew-a-long. I last posted block #8, Molly’s Cotton Boll.
Here is block #9
back (I had already removed the selvedge from this fabric, but I believe it is from Barbara' "Lately Arrived From London". Love it!
I have taken a lot of
liberties with these blocks to make them fit my smaller (9’ finished) size. I
had this one all quilted and bound and then realized I had to add a heart.
After all, it is called, “Buck Preston’s Lost Love”!
back (this is one of my all time favorite fabrics - I know, I have a lot of favorites!
Please visit Barbara’s Civil
War blog (here) to read the wonderful accounts of Mary Chestnut’s life and her “circle
of friends”.
These are all wonderful. I'm so enjoying the rich colors you've chosen!
ReplyDeleteI so love all your Cassandra's Circle blocks, and I think it's because of the wonderful background fabric you chose. So much more interesting than boring white solid.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely blocks!! I think the backgrounds are beautiful--no wonder they're your favorites...hugs from afar Julierose
ReplyDeleteI find your backing fabrics as interesting as the front of the block.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so beautiful. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are gorgeous, as always! But I have to say, those backing fabrics leave me drooling. You always find the best fabrics--is that because you shop at The Busy Thimble? :)
ReplyDeleteStunning - I love your whole-hearted embrace of color! It's always fun to see how you approach each of these blocks. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour fabric choices are wonderful as are the blocks--love them! I've always planned to read Mary Chestnut's diary, but it never seems to happen. Fun to see the blocks Barbara has chosen.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful blocks!! You’d never know the heart was a late addition. I have a lot of all time favorites too 🤣
ReplyDeleteOnce again you’ve outdone yourself. I just love these blocks.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice job!
Beautiful blocks, beautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are awesome and the colors just vibrate.
ReplyDeleteLove the heart addition;). And oooo yes that's a great yellow. Hope you are cozy warm these days.
ReplyDeletelovely blocks. Thank you for always showing us the back. I love these browns.
ReplyDeleteNice job on "miniaturizing" your blocks! As always, your fabric stash is da bomb!
ReplyDeleteThat yellow is indeed a pretty fabric. I think it is appropriate that you forgot the heart - it is indeed a lost love!
ReplyDeleteDarling blocks! I had some of those cool pheasant fabric too!
