with 121 blocks, the civil war diary quilt is akin to a dear jane EXCEPT the blocks are larger, very little applique and no complicated border. the challenge is to match the colors and to execute the blocks precisely. i've gotten these 2 blocks done already. i'm not working in order front to back (of book) but rather building my confidence by starting out with simple geometric blocks. no time frame at all to get this done, simply to do it well and have fun with the patterns and those luscious repro fabrics.
Gotta start somewhere. So far, so good.
