I too would love the opportunity to go back and create the rest of these wonderful blocks. There's all the history you've shared as well... It needs to stay! ~ Lynda<br />P.S.

How long will this blog be here. I'd like to make the quilt but don't want to get started and then have all the directions disappear.Barbryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613027613750705215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-6620051167798823232011-11-15T15:21:54.321-06:002011-11-15T15:21:54.321-06:00Finished my block today.

I ordered some and it arrived just in time for the apple tree! It is still available: Marcus Fabrics, "The Civil War Chronicles", by Judie Rothermel, design 2750. You can order it at fatquartershop.comBecky in VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604950918235696443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-5859437666849288492011-11-15T06:15:23.220-06:002011-11-15T06:15:23.220-06:00I love the apple fabric that Becky used.

Thank you for all your hard work and sharing! I hope the blocks will be left up after the first of the year.

You can trim it before or after you add the triangles. You could press a line in the brown piece right across the center and then press lines in the triangles in their centers and match up those lines.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-45067216903475041612011-11-13T06:28:35.244-06:002011-11-13T06:28:35.244-06:00This is a nice block.

At ...Instructions for the trunk are confusing me... At what degree or mark would I trim my corners? I'm new to quilting.<br /><br />Not certain about the measurements, but, I think YankeeQuilter is on to something when she says use a square. It seems to me that you could make the square, sew the triangles onto opposing corners, and then trimming the base block and pressing out would accomplish your trunk block. Am I correct? Is this actually harder? (LOL! If it works is it cheating?) '-)<br /><br />Note: Laying triangles on corner, mark base of triangle, flip and place on mark with with 1/4 seam allowance over/covering the mark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-44790791131966395062011-11-12T10:26:31.888-06:002011-11-12T10:26:31.888-06:00Thank you for another great block!
