There's a big snowstorm coming across most of the United States which makes it the perfect time to tackle some challenging quilt blocks.
Block 69
attributed to: Mary Deacon / 1841
You'll want to piece your little Dresden Plate before appliqueing it to the background square. This is a sweet blocks!
Block 70
attributed to: M A Buzby 1841
Use the templates to piece your ring of diamonds and then applique to the background square.
Block 71
attributed to: William Deacon
There's a full size block illustration if you want to make templates to machine or hand piece the block. A foundation pattern is also included for this block.
Block 72
attributed to: Wm C Snyder / April 1842
This block is going to be a challenge. There's a full size drawing for you to make templates. Take your time and I'd recommend piecing this one by hand and then applique the pieced circle to the background square.
