I'm an easy mark. I was reading Lane's blog today, and he mentioned Barbara Brackman's 2016 Block of the Month. Curious, I clicked over to see what it was. And just like that, I'm hooked!!
It's called Westering Women, and what I love about it is that she includes anecdotes and illustrations about the westward journey on the overland trails in the 19th century. Throw in some reproduction fabrics and I'm LOVING it!
The first block is Independence Square. I have one directional print in there, so I had to unpick one seam where I wasn't paying attention, but otherwise, it went together quickly and easily.
I look forward to next month's block.
