This was a very quick little block to do. My "creative consultant" saw the various log cabin quilts on Barbara Brackman's blog and thought that one of those might be nice! I do note that there is still no needle or thread in his hand . . .
I thought I'd keep a little journal of this quilt, so I've got a sample of each of the fabrics, the cutting instructions and I'll also put a photo of each block. I always think I'll remember the details, but am constantly surprised these days at how quickly the details seem to fade into vagueness . . .
I find, too, that by sketching out the block and writing down the cutting dimensions, I've already got a very clear picture in my mind of the block going together before I even begin.
This is a little A5 Visual Art Diary, but a little plain with its black cover. I may have to make a little "Civil War Quilts" journal cover for it.
But that's a job for another day!!!

This is a lovely block, Sue. You have chosen great colours. What a good idea having a journal of the quilt. I think a civil war cover would be very special.
A nice pretty block often a block done in utilities I like the softer version. Must hunt through for some pink maybe?
I also started a journal. The writting helps me understand the process of assembly.
I really like your block this week, well actually I like all of your Civil War blocks!
You are so organized, I'm impressed! It will be nice to have a journal of this quilt. Great idea!
Nice block Sue. I will post mine later on today. Catching up slowly. I like this week block, don't you?
Hugs
