Swartz Creek Scrap Quilt with Pepper Cory

Sue's second day class was the complete opposite of the first day - the replication of a vintage scrap quilt.  This was a quilt that teacher Pepper Cory found in Pennsylvania which she dubbed the Swartz Creek Scrap Quilt.  Below is Pepper showing the original quilt.

Below are some additional versions of the quilt, some with larger blocks.

We spent part of the time choosing our fabrics, making half square triangles and 4-patches, and then beginning to assemble rows. 

Of course, we didn't get a whole top done in a 6-hour class!  Sue managed to get enough pieces together for 2 rows.  There may be some changes to this plan as one fabric may be too overpowering for the solid squares.  All the fabrics are Civil War reproduction fabrics.

Here are some other students' works in progress.

Both of the above are using 6" blocks instead of 4" blocks as in the original.  Though Sue does mostly art quilts these days, it is still fun to go back to traditional piecing.
