the civil war quilt diary … day 2

Here are my three eforts for today. I still have not fetched the book and don’t think I will do any more blocks until I have it. Whilst last night was exciting, this morning is just a little chaotic and I would like to feel a bit more ordered in my sewing of the blocks! Neurotic, I know.

BTW, I am having terrible trouble taking decent photos of them - I think I changed the settings on the camera by accident - will have to wait for J’s return so that he may fix it - and the light at the moment is hopeless. I never thought I would say it, given we’ve been in drought for four years, but I am sick of all these grey clouds! I’d love a wee bit of blue sky and sun. We have had the odd day, since Christmas, but it has been odd - especially Saturday just past - 42 degrees celsius at 2.30pm but an hour and a half late, 27. On the coast, it dropped 10 degrees in 10 minutes!

Anyway, here’s the blocks … Selling the livestock

Funny purple and blue … didn’t the stripes turn out odd.

and the sweetest of the morning, Pink and Green triangles - I would love to try this block in the 1930s fabric too.

Now I must be off - the iron is talking to me in morse code - click, click, click Lily, you’ve left me on again, come and put me to good use on the piles of laundry that are cluttering your sewing room and making you feel so wah wah!
