 Civil War fabric  5 bar  square  is the talk of the town haha.  But it would be a great and simple style of quilt to make. So on with it, good for a man. I have always thought that Civil War fabrics  were fitting for men. So many fabrics are very feminine. I love those beautiful fabrics but could not use them for a man.

Ray and I went  out for a bit today and ran into  Marg at the local mall while we were shopping at the Pharmacy where we spend a lot of time LOL.  Marg came over after we all got home for a bit of a visit.

When we got home I sat with my blocks and took out the stitching around the half square triangle. That took a lot of time and I am not sure I'd do it that way again.

I made some chili for dinner and to serve tomorrow if anyone wants it. It was pretty good if I do say so myself. I should have taken a picture. I am getting careless about taking pictures.

   This is a fascinating way to make 8 half square triangles at a time.

   
   

   I have not found a good site to show the 1/4 " stitch

    around the entire 2 squares. So you will have to trust me on that.

    For 4 half square triangles sew around the squares 1/2"   and cut

   diagonally twice, For 2 half square triangles sew around the 

   perimeter 1/4" and cut diagonally once. 
   
   I am having trouble with  the blog tonight doing weird things.
   But I'll keep on trying until I lose my cool and throw the laptop out.
   
   

   

   Haha try and sew on this little guy. I wonder just how old it is.

   I recall the old saying step and a half and this reminds me of that 

   saying. I am not quite sure what it meant but it was applied to 

   people  , usually little people.

   
   

   How do you like this one quilters?

   I could scarcely make one for Christmas let along four of them.
