Block 4.Size: 5" unfinished
Quantity: Two
I had to peer at the book and pics of the original quilt for quite a while until I figured out there were actually 3 colours in one of the blocks, a dark moss green and a very dark blue (as far as I could tell) as well as the light coloured cross.
Apparently these two lil 2 1/2" squares of dark blue are the only ones in the entire top as this colour was extremely rare in the 18th century.... in fact apart from the black fabric used these are the darkest colours in the coverlet.
Fabrics used Oakshott Lipari cottons and a pale pink silk dupion
Really enjoyed making these! but I definitely need one of
@rubywishes pizza boxes for storage now!
Next Block 5 ... More Mitred corners (!) and brick coloured fabric, which as far as I know I'm now out of!
Oh well tomorrows another day!
The last two blocks are in the plastic bag because of Oakshotts propensity to fray!
