Tuesday Quilt block June 9

Stars in a Time Warp series:  The block covered last week was neat stripes: nice lines, not wavy or serpentine.  Here are my two blocks.  Note I also picked a neat stripe for the background fabric too!

I am off on a whirlwind trip to NYC on Tuesday and so I won't be able to hook up with the usual linky parties.  Maybe for Works in Progress Wednesday!

Tuesday Quilt block June 2

Last week, on Barbara Brackman's blog she described Excentric or eccentric prints.  I knew I would have to dig a bit to find these!  First up:

An older print from Jinny Beyer. This is a faithful copy of Lane's net (see BB's blog entry). This fabric I'll bet is from the 1980's.  I'll pretend it's California gold in color.  The next one could be an eccentric print also.  It's all I had in my stash.

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 May 26

Busy busy busy!!! I've skipped a week but I have new star quilt blocks to share.

First up: California gold.  As Barbara Brackman describes this, this fabric style was chrome orange or yellow designs on a white background.  My first star fits this perfectly.

The fabric is from the "Dear Jane" line of a few years ago and is a printed gingham.  The next star is from a Paula Barnes fabric.

Last week, Barbara discussed serpentine striped fabric - a favorite of mine too.  Very popular for clothing before the Civil War, apparently.  My first star is from the "Circa 1825" fabric line:

And the next one is of fabric I've had in my stash for awhile.

Tuesday Quilt block May 12

I've missed a week because I do not have any paisley reproduction fabric.
This past week on Barbara Brackman's Civil War quilt blog, she discusses Conversational prints.  Now of these I have many!!!!

I have held onto that fly fabric for many a year, waiting for the right use!
