Well, this is another program quilt, through the Homestead Hearth called Shirt Tails, distributed by Quakertown Quilts, Inc. designed by Vikie Stipe. I was a sucker and fell for the fact is was done scrappy and in civil war reproduction fabrics. The blocks are 9" and sewn into 18' blocks and then with some bonus blocks you have a really scrappy looking quilt.
It is 62"x80" in size. Like that it is rectangle rather than square.
The following are close ups of the different blocks in this quilt. I liked doing this quilt as each set of blocks were different and I didn't get bored.
The border is a different take on piano key borders. This one has a background square at the end of each key, and then laid in opposite directions to create a subtle look about it. The corner stone blocks are a quilt block rather than just a solid cut piece. Again, really scrappy!!
I used a dark backing for once, one that fit the style and period of the quilt.
