Two really interesting blocks

I think these two were particularly interesting both for their name and how they look.

 This one is called Indiana Puzzle.
And this beauty is called Confederate Rose.

Simple pleasures

This morning before work I got 1 block cut out and 1 sewn up.
Last night I got 3 I think it was, cut out while enjoying some Stargate episodes. 
I am enjoying this pace!

This block is called, The White House.

Lot's of progress!

I had a wonderful weekend with my Saturday Sampler group on Saturday including a trip to a new 5 & 10 cent store in town that is selling cheap fat quarters.  I managed to get 3 twelve-inch blocks cut out by the end of Saturday too. 
Since there was unexpected sunshine on Sunday I got my craft room picked up in the morning before church and in the late afternoon got to spend 2-3 hours in the sunshine I need to have picking fabrics for ALL the rest of my Barbara Brackman Civil War Quilt blocks AND for 2 quilt backings.   I even cleaned up after all that activity and got 6 blocks cut out.   Last night I sewed up one block and this morning since I was awake with a cough at 4:30 am, I sewed up 3 more before work.
And here they are: 
 Comfort Quilt
 Apple Tree
 Kentucky Crossroads
Fort Sumter
