Dearest Boy Blocks 4 and 5

It's that time again.  This week we will be sharing 2 blocks.  One pieced and one appliqued.

This is our first pieced block.  Block 4A.  This was a rather difficult block to piece.  I don't usually have a problem with pieced blocks but this one gave my patience a hard time....lol

Here is block 5A.  I wasn't too fond of this block.  But I persevered and finished it.  My cherries are a little wonky but I do like the outcome.  One more block and we will have the first row done.

Be sure to stop by Karen and Julie's blogs to see their version of the blocks.  

I've also been working on Barbara Brackman's Antebellum Album.  Here is block 6.

I'm using a tea dyed muslin for the background and browns and pinks for the rest.  I really love how this block turned out.

It's hot, hot, hot here in Michigan.  Yesterday was in the 90's and we are expecting more of the same today.  Trying to stay cool and get some sewing done.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Cathy

Block 6

Good Morning.  It's gray outside, cold outside, and snowy outside.  It's about 12 degrees out and we got around 3" of snow.  Ugh...

Today Karen and I reveal the next block in our Early American Life sew along.

Mine looks backwards compared to the photo of the quilt.  Originally this was suppose to be a fusible applique quilt.  Karen and I are doing needle turn applique.

We will be posting our next block on the 15th of February.

Thanks for stopping by.  Stay warm.

Hugs, Cathy
