I have been catching up after a few days in the Cotswolds. I didn't take any blocks with me, as one needs a good light to sew these rather fiddly pieces and that is not always guaranteed in a holiday rental. So on my return last Sunday I finished these three and cut out the next block.
I was so busy making sure that the cat on my cushion was in the picture, I didn't notice that the blocks were facing the wrong way, so I have cropped and turned them around!
Only the block with green in it is from the Sundial. The Sunflower block is a variation and the one on the right is from the Ann Randoll quilt dated 1802 which was also exhibited at the V&A last year.
Now I am tuned in, I am finding interesting blocks from quilts of the same era which I may well include. At the moment I am drafting a Compass Rose block dated 1799!
