Tuesday quilt block March 10

I am sorry to miss last week - so I have a number of quilt blocks to post today.
I am continuing on the stars in a time warp series led by Barbara Brackman.  It is so fun to learn more about these fabrics from an expert, and go through my stash to find the appropriate fabrics.

First up: double pink:

and a second one:

I loved working with these pinks (and I have many in my stash, as I buy them whenever I see them) that I have started a second project, a series of 4 inch stars, all in different double pink fabrics.

Next: Madder-style prints:

I realize now that the prints I used for chrome orange are probably madder style instead.  Oh well, I never was a fan of orange.

Lastly for this week, early indigo blue.

Yes that top star is a very dark blue, although the scan makes it look black.  These are the simplest indigo blue fabrics in my collection.  I am glad I have such a big collection now!

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 Feb. 24

Just a quick note today as I have lots of (real) work to do!  I am caught up with my Time Warp Stars and below are scans of 1. 2 chrome orange stars and 2. 2 stars featuring shirting prints.  I am also using various shirting prints for the backgrounds to the stars.

Tuesday Quilt block Feb. 17

I am continuing my Stars in a time Warp Series. I have finally caught up with the fabrics listed on the Civil War Quilts blog, except that I do not have a good solid green to stand in for the old overdyed green.  Also I have only two blocks to show you this week as they are they only two I have scanned and ready!

A great fabric type, Prussian blue.  The first featured fabric is a reproduction ombre or fondue print, and the second one may be more typical for Prussian blue.

Tuesday Quilt Block Feb. 10

I've started a new project!  I will be making sawtooth stars along with the "stars in a time warp" project on the Civil War Quilts blog by Barbara Brackman.  I surely do have a large stash of CW fabric,and it should get used up!  I have decided to make two stars out of each fabric type mentioned.

I am, alas, a few weeks behind.  But the stars, finishing at 6 inches, are easy to do so I think I will catch up.  The first fabric Barbara discusses is Turkey red.  How lucky I have been collecting these for years.  My blocks are below.
