Tuesday Quilt block October 27

Back again with two bright quilt blocks for you! The fabric type profiled this week on Barbara Brackman's blog was black with bright fabrics from post - 1880 - what we called black with neon now.

These are hard to find as they are not reproduced very often.  Other than a Pilgrim/Roy fabric, what I could find in my stash is below.  Both are from an older fabric line called Matters of the Heart by Kaye England.

A wonderful fabric - can you imagine a Victorian gown done up in this?

And another:

I am linking up with Connie at Freemotion by the River and Quilt Story as I do most weeks I have blocks to share. Both blog hops have pictures of pretty quilt blocks and other projects. I am also joining Work in Progress Wednesday - some colorful and interesting projects there!

Tuesday Quilt Block Oct. 20

It's been a whirl of a busy week!  But time for a new Tuesday Quilt block.
This week the Stars in a Time Warp color is cadet blue - a lighter gray-blue of the post 1880 period.

And another, using "well-aged" fabric from my stash:

Tuesday Quilt Block Oct. 13

It's Tuesday and time for another set of stars for Stars in a Time Warp series. This past week's color was claret red.

Also called wine red or burgundy.

A common color for after 1880 and into the new century, according to Barbara Brackman.

I like the fabrics from this time period, and I am now thinking of a new quilt project - oh no!

Tuesday quilt block Oct. 6

The fabric type of the week last week was black and gray designs of 1880 or later. Luckily I have a bit of this fabric.
