Doing the happy dance here after getting all my blocks together. The fabrics I've used are not reproduction, there could be all sorts in it but I love the colours, especially the punches of blue.
Most of the block patterns are from books by Elly Sienkiewicz except for a few I drew myself using block elements from the books.
I was very deliberate in setting the blocks as they often did with the antique Baltimore's. There is the pattern of a Greek cross formed by the urn in the middle with the baskets and then because I'm so funny about settings, I put the round wreaths in the corners. From that point on, I tried to balance the blocks out somewhat.
I had to attend to a few finishing touches on some blocks like the book getting the album label.
Family names were also inked on various blocks.
This one below is inked with my name and a sentiment that I hope will be true when I'm long gone.
I've been thinking about the borders now and I would love to make a start on the drawing before too much longer.I wish all of you who celebrate Easter to have a happy one.
