Go to this web site: http://www.bonniebluequilts.com/detail.aspx?ID=35

It is a pattern called Glory Bound by Bonnie Blue Quilts. I saw the pattern and the quilt last year made with Civil War fabrics....Needless to say, I bought the pattern.... It was beautiful! :lol:

Oh that last pattern is very nice. Would look great with all the CW fabrics.

I'm doing a Seven Sisters pattern in Civil War repros. This pattern was very popular in the South in the mid to late 1800s. Below is a sample of one of the blocks. These are very easy to make when using a no-set-in-seams method of piecing.

Here are some pictures from Better Homes and Gardens new "Antique Quilts" magazine that just came out. Plus, here's a link to order one. I just received a copy and it's fabulous!

That's beautiful. Mom made a kingsize Seven Sisters for my husband and I when we married. She was from the South and it was one of her favorite blocks.

The Seven Sisters looks hard. How is it done without set-in seams? That might look nice with a star in every fabric and the ivory cotton background.

The stars are actually a large triangle with 3 additional points sewn on. If you look at them that way, you can see how the rows can be pieced and then the rows sewn together to form the block. Tada! No set-in-seams. :) Of course, this means that each star will need to be a solid fabric choice (or you'd have a triangle with 3 different colored points on it), but that was o.k. with me, since I wanted all of the 7 stars in the block to be the same anyway.

I love the look of Civil War fabric. I think you could pick out any traditional pattern and it would look vintage. Tammy in MN

wow, I didn't know you could do them that way. Mom always used diamonds and did everything by hand.
