Saw this on my morning walk at Lincoln Park:

I got two more of the Carolinas quilt blocks cut out today.
First, the 'Harness' block, was an easy one with big pieces.
I was hesitant to start the next one, 'Carriage Ride' - it has little round pieces, which I knew were going to be difficult. But, I can't avoid it forever, so I jumped in.
I went ahead and pieced together one of the circles to see how it would work.
It turned out all right! I hand stitched the pieces together first, with contrasting thread, then sewed it on the machine and picked out the basting thread.
Here's the block so far.
I had to finish up for the day. I got most of the pieces pinned to the template and up on the wall.
After staring at it for a while, I made some changes. The dark purple on the Turret block bothered me, so I changed it out to 'Gumdrop' a light purple.
