Something for the Civil War fabric
Since I decided to not do the Dear Jane quilt I've been thinking of what to do with the 200 different 9"x11" pieces of Civil War repro fabric that I have. I saw this today in American Quilter magazine using batiks but think it's a good choice for an old fashioned look. The squares are 1 1/4" finished size! I added the hearts in the center and the border but that is changeable. I am still looking for something that catches my fancy more than the hearts, maybe tiny baskets. The hearts give it a country look. The squares would be all different colors, just didn't want to color all of them individually in the design.

I want to see it too. It will give me a chance to try a turned under machine applique method for the hearts and vines. I've been working up how many strips I need using 9"x11" pieces instead of yardage and I'll start sorting through almost 200 CW fabrics to choose what I need.
