Civil War Block Four


As you can see this block is not finished.
Why!!!! It's to small just over 8" not 8 1/2" finished that it should be!!!!
The other two blocks turned out the correct size but this one will have to go back and be reverse sewed.
not happy!!!!! The large triangles at the corners overlaps by 1/2" each end. So something is wrong. Will wait and see my friend at craft on Wednesday for some help unless I come up with an answer myself.
Yes I know no number three block is missing.
The third blocks has seven applique stars and I so like making pieced blocks not hand work is slow for me. I will think about the third block in time.

North Star Block Two


Here is block two which I am happy to say I have finished.
North Star block was easy as I have made this star before.
The block are nice size of 8" finished.

I have over the years collected Civil War Fabrics to one day make a Dear Jane Quilt.
