Doing Battle In A Block War

I have an accumulation of blocks from the Civil War; my battle became one of how to set them together in a cohesive manner, an enormous challenge! As you know, any war is a series of smaller battles that lead to an ultimate conclusion. This conflict was no different.

Armed only with this book I went in, I
crossed the line and faced the enemy.

This is my final battle plan. I am using "Sage Tracks" from the book as the framework to hold all the diverse blocks together; this plan came together after several unsuccessful skirmishes. I'm happy with the way the setting blocks in neutrals recede and allow the Civil War blocks to hold the front line. A pieced border beyond this central portion will allow the lighter colored lattice strips to meet along the outer edges. I may come in and add a final border beyond that using a darker fabric, we'll see how it looks after this setting is complete. One battle at a time.

Life is Good!
