Chester County Criswell Block 11


 William Criswell's block 


Jane Criswell's block

I made two versions of this block.  I must admit the history behind the names on this quilt is starting to get a little confusing to me even tho Sharon is doing a great job.  There is an excellent post here about the family tree.  I am just happy that Sharon is able to keep it all straight.  I really think she should write a book about this quilt.
I have just about run out of reds and greens and may repeat some but not too many.  Does anyone have any they could suggest.

Happy Sunday.
Nancy

  1. Beautiful sewing on these blocks Nancy! I reckon those harp strings must have been tricky to do. I agree that the story around the CCCQ would make a great book.

  3. Lovely. Those harps look like a real challenge and are very unique.

  4. Two blocks, that was fast! The family tree is a bit confusing, and I reserve the right to change previous stories if I find new information .
    Nice to see both versions of the lyre block. Whenever I go to a new patchwork shop I always check out the reds and greens first.

  7. I finally started prepping blocks for this quilt. I am thinking of ordering some more red reproduction fabric for some more added variety.
