Civil War Weekly Blocks

I'm sure by now most have heard about the weekly free patterns for a Civil War Quilt from Barbara Brackman. Here are some fabric FQ's from my stash to use for some of the blocks. A new block will be posted each Saturday, two are up so far. I better get working on these :)

*********************************************************************
Poor Isabella one of our green egg laying hens is in chicken rehab. She flew out of the free-run enclosure and the poodle kids found her. They don't mean to hurt, just play. But she lost all of her tail and back feathers and her back had some tooth marks. She is cleaned up and resting for a few days.I'll try to put her back with the others but they may peck her bare back, have to see
how it goes and think about a plan "B'.
Answering the comment question about the feathered legs and feet- The black feathered are Cochin and white roos are Silkies, the others are a Dutch breed.

  1. Poor hen, I am glad nothing else happened. I am always afraid of that. My dog so far has just run over them. I don't know who can't see who. I am going to check out the quilt blocks for the Civil War Blocks. I have looked at that material it is always nice having a tutorial to go by.
