So far I have made 24 blocks, I figure I need about 48, I am going to have to repeat some images, but that is okay. My blocks are 7.5 inches and this includes the 1/4" seam allowance all around, so the actual block will be 7 inches. A lot of the old color pictures were turned yellow, co I changed them all to greyscale. I have purchased some muted black, tan and grey civil war print fabrics to cut the bands to edge the blocks. I think I want them to be 9" square.
Putting the images in a block will make the quilt so much easier to make. My sisters and brother are all participating, so we will be having enough fabric printed to make five quilts. I have made a list of all the blocks and entered the names of who is in the images and the year of each image if known. I think I am going to get this description printed, too and sew it on the back of the quilt. Hope to have the blocks finished by the end of the week, then send to be printed.
Will keep you posted.
