I found a quilt shop while I was doing the shop hop and of course Loretta you came straight to mind at www.piecefulgatherinquiltshop.com they have a BOM civil war diary quilt and while you do the blocks you learn from the women of the civil war journals it sonded like a wonderful way to learn all that great history while working each month on a block...check it out...

it is saying the web address is wrong

http://www.piecefulgathering.com/

thanks Grannycat, I have seen this one before but hadnt seen the BOM Gonna have to look at it!!

Thanks for correcting the web address ....it looks good I added it to my fav. so I could go back and check it over real good....

I read the info there and I think you have to sign up for their newletter to get the link :roll: :D

I just saw that site while bunny searching...the CW BsOM were pretty awesome.

try that one

edit

Ok that didnt take me there either. go to the site put the pointer over shop on line and it will bring up a menu, go to quilt clubs and blocks of the month.

I'm quite sure the book is also avialable in joanns and other sites, so could do it on your own :D book is available here

if that fails do the shop hop and find pieceful gathering quilt shop thats all I was doing was shop hopping for July and came across it...try that and follow the bunny to the BOM page and thats where I came across it...I bookmarked it so if all else fails let me know and I will just send the url to you....

I found it, that is one awesome quilt, are you going to tackle it one day???
Just counted all those blocks 122 I make it. Don´t think I would live long enough to finish that one Melissa LOL

I like the other one there with the centre applique. I like a bit of history though its very interesting. I also checked out the URR you all talked about, cool

The way I figured it would take almost 2 years, with doing 5 or 6 blocks a month. Think I would rather get the book and tackle it on my own. I dont have the patience to wait that long!!! There is another book called Civil War Love Letters, Would like to get that one too!!
