I've logged a lot of hours working on two of the blocks for "The Civil War Bride Quilt". The first block I made is Block #9, the Bird of Paradise Block. The main fabric line I'm using is a Moda fabric called Rouenneries designed by one of their newest designers, French General. This fabric is in shades of Turkey Red, grays, and oysters. It was inspired by French textiles of the 18th century so fits in with the era of the Civil War. I'm also using some Thimbleberries fabric and some reproduction fabric from my stash, and am using muslin for my background in a tea dyed color. I've been longing to use the beautiful Rouenneries fabric that I got last year for a special quilt for my front room. I wanted something with gray and red in it for in there. This should work out great.
Here's a picture of the Bird of Paradise that I made. He's kind of handsome, isn't he?
