Civil War Blocks 15 and 16 Done!

I'm pleased with both of these blocks, which turned out exactly to size and easy to make.

Block 15 - Fort Sumter . . .


and Block 16 - White House . . .



The past couple of weeks have gone by in a bit of a daze, so I was pleased to get these blocks done yesterday . . . and I'm ready to get going on this weeks block once it's released. A big thank you to American Homestead for posting alternate cutting instructions for the White House block - taking away the hassle of matching stripes!

I find myself spending more time selecting fabric than actually stitching, but really that's all part of the fun.

    The blocks look lovely and I am encouraged by the comment on level of difficulty.
    I am so far behind perhaps a slow week end will aid catching up.

    Glad you are catching up. It takes me ages to decide about the fabrics too. I think you will find week 17 easier. Now it I could only find time to post
