Here's the full block for George Edgar Cox

Don't you just love that tiny gingham check on Ms. Hoppough's block! People often think checks like this are modern repairs but they are definitely period prints.
**Note: one of the tricks to make a reproduction quilt look authentic is to mix prints and checks and plaids as that was a common practice in the 1800s.

And who can resist a Turkey Red and yellow floral strips and the leaf hearts!

And red & white polka dots - always a winner. And those other dots that kind of look like eyeballs ... so much wonderful fabric.
