Dearest Lavender Crossed Canoes & Caesar’s Crown blocks

Catching up on a couple of Dearest Lavender blocks, a variation on Crossed Canoes...

...and Caesar’s Crown.

Dearest Boy Quilt; Caesar's Crown

I have completely lost all confidence in the original Dearest Boy pattern and have drafted these blocks myself just to make sure everything fits. This partly explains why I'm so behind - starting a new project also doesn't help :D


Lavender and Bruce are thinking it’s getting pretty muddy around the shed but they’re still hopeful of getting some of Hettie's leftovers.

  4. I've worked with a few patterns that aren't quilt right, and it can be so frustrating. Your blocks are beautiful--good for you to work them out yourself!

  5. Your blocks are lovely I especially love the fabrics you used in the Crown block, but such a pill to have to draft the blocks yourself.

  6. Glad you've finally been able to get the patterns to work with your own drafting skills. I guess I've always thought a pattern should be correct before the designer sells it. Not sure how designers can get away with this lack of concern for accuracy.

  7. Colors blend so well! I hear that Dearest Boy was a horrible mess to make - glad I did not do that one!
