First Block Completed

I completed the center block for my Civil War Block of the Month.  The square is 16 1/2".  I was amazed at how well the corners matched on each piece.  I used my AccuQuilt Go to cut most of the pieces.  I was lucky to have the right templates.  Probably won't be a lucky on some of the remaining pieces. 

I also took time to read the Chronicle that comes with each month's block.  This month's chronicle featured Mary Custis Lee.  Wife of Robert E. Lee and great grand-daughter of Martha Washington. 

I've Started My First Block

Have you seen the new Civil War Chronicles Block of the Month Quilt?  It is beautiful (and huge).  I just picked up the first three months at 3 Dudes Quilting.  I spent the morning cutting the pieces and hope to sew this first block this afternoon.  They have the center panel on display at the shop and it is beautiful.  The fabric is my Marcus Fabrics.  I have seen the Club listed on a number of Quilt sites.   My friend was participating at 3 Dudes and I decided to join her.  Maybe I'll have a block to post later this evening.

Happy Quilting.
