I simply couldn't resist - before I went to bed last night, I cut out the squares, and sewed the HST's for this block of the new Barbara Brackman Civil War Quilts project. I had to leave it there though, as I glanced up at the clock and it was quarter to one in the morning!
So this morning, as soon as breakfast was taken care of, I was straight back into the sewing room - and pictured above is the result. I've chosen three fabrics from the Howard Marcus 'Charity' collection - these ones actually came to me in a Moda Scrap Bag - score!! The block was super easy to put together, and I simply cannot wait for the next one.
And, I have to add, did you see who commented on my last post? Barbara Brackman herself - what an honour! I feel so special, and I'm entirely thrilled that Barbara is making this project available to us all. Do join in if you can - I'm certain you won't be disappointed! xox

Love your block! Thanks for alerting me to this project. I hope to get my act together and join in!
Awesome! Love the fabric choice. Have fun with this project.
Oh nice, Moda Scrap Bag - very cool :-) ; I'm off to make my own.
AHHH... MUST RESIST!!! I'm working on Bonnie Hunter's Roll, Roll Cotton Boll right now and then I HAVE to clear out a bunch of UFO's before I start on something new. But this is SO TEMPTING!
Ok, so I might have to start this. Like I need another project LOL.
Hugs!
OK- where is the instructions? When can I start? Linda
Wow that was quick. I'm a fan of Barbara Brackman and her textile histories. I've already checked out the website. Don't know if I'll be able to keep up with the blocks but I know I'll love reading the stories that go along with them, Tazzie.
Gail :)
Thanks, Tazzie, for sharing the Civil War Block of the Week site. I'll probably do this as a block of the month and will take forever to finish it. LOL
Oh it is so gorgeous! I love it!
Love it! Thanks for telling us about this opportunity!
What a lovely project - this block is a beauty. I'm looking forward to the rest of them and seeing your progress!
I made one of these too! What a great way to go through the history of the civil war...
Your block is on the blog! I joined in too. I'm looking forward to seeing which fabrics everyone chooses.
