I finally got a new SD card for my camera, so I can finish documenting my Stars in a Time Warp blocks. These are my representatives for Chocolate Blue.
Black and gray fabric dyes were not reliable until the end of the end of the 19th century.
Again, related to improvements in fabric dyes, wine-colored reds - claret reds - became fashionable in the late 19th century.
Another late 19th century fashion color was cadet blue.
Skipping backward in time, sprigged muslins were all the rage in the early 1800s.
And from the same time period come provincial prints.
I'm still debating how I'll put all these blocks together. I think I'll save it for the dark, dreary weeks of January and February, when all these colors and fabrics will help keep me smiling!
I love your stars. I love to read Barbara Brackman. I have never sewn along. I can't wait to see yours finished,
