CIVIL WAR QUILT BLOCK 25

Barbara Brackman’s Civil War Quilt block for week #25 is called Calico Puzzle.  After making one block and not liking my fabric selections because of too many larger scale motifs mixed together, I made a second more calm one and am now happy quilter.

25 Calico Puzzle
This is the one I like


Calico Puzzle -didn't like
This one is the rejected block


I found that once the block was assembled using the measurements on Brackman’s instructions, I did have to trim 1/4” off of each side to make it the appropriate 8 1/2” unfinished size.

  1. Donna I prefer your second one as well, although I do love the fabrics you used in both of them!!! I tend to try and keep in mind the scale as well, I don't want to many orphans LOL!!!

  2. Block 1 is nice, but block two is fabulous - the center just glows!
