This turned out great and it wasn't as hard as it looks :)
I like the fabric contrast in this one...a really easy one!
Not my favorite altho I think it might be better with a different fabric.
This was definately hard and to make matters worse I mismeasured the white stripes and had to do a lot of frogging to even get it close to right (the matching is all wrong) but it still looks pretty good.
I truly hate this one AND it was sooooo hard!!
Cherry Tree--7 1/2"
This one is really cute in person and it so small, involved but not hard
Washington's Elm--16"
I didn't think I would like this, but I really do....it is so impressive and would make a great center block on a family tree quilt...hmmm
Martha Washington Star--8"
Well I messed this one up and was too lazy to fix it when I realized it....so I made my own block pattern and it kind of looks okay, I think. The two middle points are going the wrong direction so it doesn't make a star ( did I mention how spatially challenged I am...lol)
Dolley Madison's Star--9"
This one was a whole lot easier than it looks, or else I'm learning something and getting better...probably not lol. I like the way it turned out too.
Barbara Frietchie Star--12"
I don't know who Barbare Frietchie is, but I like her star. When I first took a pic of it, I thought I had the wrong block with the wrong page of the calendar....it's looks different, but sure enough it's an optical illusion. I will have to try it later with different values of fabrics to see how different it can look.
Clay's Choice--8"
Pretty straight forward, lots of possibilities with different fabrics. Simple, but I like it.
So I'm all caught up except for today's block which I might do tonight. Yesterday's had a template which I don't do. I love doing all the different kinds of blocks, but they loose their specialness when I have so much catching up to do. I like it better when I only do one or two a day and can enjoy their individualness. But my stack of blocks is sure piling up and I am loving it. I know I will need more fabric soon, which just feeds into my other love.....love of shopping!!!
Ain't life grand?!?!
