I finally finished my Civil War quilt, one that I started 7 or 8 years ago.
It was a "buck-a- block" from Archangel Fabrics in Raleigh (before they closed).
It was made using "thangles", which made it so easy to get perfect half square triangles.
Thangles are paper templates that come in various sizes, which are directly sewn on and torn away.
