Change of direction

I saw a Civil War sewalong this morning and thought I should do that. I have lots of civil war fabrics in the stash. Isn't this block pitiful? All those triangles made me very unhappy and I thought I was being so careful.

When I finished I thought "that's it....no more....I'm changing direction" So I'm re-reading this

and lurking here Bumble Beans 15 minute play

and I'll be going about things in a new way in 2011. I already started with the zigzag quilt,most of the prints are from the civil war stash,but I think it looks rather modern.
