September 24, 1863

Today I will be showing you another block that I got done on my Civil War Dairy Quilt. It reminds me of a 'signature' block. The white/cream rectangle in the middle would be the perfect place to sign your name or write a message! In this diary entry, dated September 24, 1863, Cora writes about a poem that Mr. Neill read to her about the 'Southern Cause'. It was written by Sallie Neill. 

Here are my fabrics for this block, I have also printed up my foundation paper
using EQ and the companion CD.

I cut my fabric into easy to handle strips for foundation piecing.

Next Saturday I will be working on the block called 'John Morgan' out of Rosemary's book. Hope that you have a wonderful weekend and find some time to quilt. Today I am at mom's house at our MCA quilt retreat weekend working on all sorts of quilty fun! I packed my Civil War Diary Quilt and Red and White quilt to work on along with a couple of Halloween projects. I'm hoping to come back with all sorts of fun things to share with you!

Happy quilting and perfect stitches to you!
