Civil War Quilts - #1 & 2

I'm sure everyone who comes over

to my blog would be familiar with

this SAL called "Civil War Quilts"

being held over at Barbara Brackman's.

 In honor of this anniversary of

  the beginning of the American Civil War.

150 years ago,

she has started this lovely weekly SAL.

I've been thinking about this for awhile

over the past holiday season,

but could not make up my mind

as I do have a lot of WIP/UFOs.

Plus, I was not sure about

8" sq blocks as 8" sq sounds like

huuuuuge to me after making

all kinds of miniature quilts lately.

Of course I know I can always

make them as small as I'd like to,

but just had to give it a try.

Then as seeing everyone else's

beautiful blocks all over the blogland,

I could not regist not to join,

especially after seeing Sheryl's blocks

yesterday. Sigh...

We shall see how I can keep up with

these blocks for the next 50 weeks.

How about you?

Have you joined to the party yet?

It's getting very tempting for sure...
