As I have noted before, the Ella Maria Deacon Quilt is from 1842. It is made of 85 blocks, which finish as a 9 inch block. Gay Bomer of Sentimental Stitches has written up the pattern for each block. They are all out now and some people have their blocks all done. Not me. I am about 1/4 of the way through, I think. I am going to have to reevaluate what is done. I have been keeping a written record but is it up to date?
The majority of the blocks are applique, which I do enjoy. I just need to keep a prepped block waiting for me by my chair. Sometimes I get so lazy with the prepping.
Applique-Block 6
Pieced-Block 12
Pieced with Appliqued Hearts-Block 14
Foundation Paper Pieced-Block 15
Thank goodness that block was done that way. Making foundation parts and then putting them together is an easy way to go. If I had to cut up each part to size and then put it together, not sure if I would have made as nice a block.
