More Civil War Blocks Finished

I have been a little lazy posting my progress on the Civil War Quilt. I now have 3 more blocks finished. That makes 13 blocks done and 7 more to go and then the border. Christmas brought a loop into getting any sewing done. Part of the leaf on the right will be sewn to the block next to it. That is why you see a white line.
Here is block 11.
For block 12, I tried to make it a little cheerful with the pink fabric petals. I have a small selection of 5x7 fabrics that have strips or borders running through it, so chose one for the vase. Also did the same for block 13.
Here is block 12
For block 13 I chose another vase type fabric. It was fun to do something different than leaves and flowers so this block has a table with a table cloth. The fringe was done using a ghiordes knot embroidery stitch. I had to look that up on the Internet to know how to do it. That added a little pizazz to the table.
Here is block 13.
