After learning about the family member who followed her DH to the Civil War as a battle field nurse, I was inspired to make a cot quilt. But I chose to downsize this to a nice table runner size. I found this by googling "Civil War nurse". Here's the link:
http://www.patternsfromhistory.com/c.../cot_quilt.htm

I just swapped some CW prints with a couple of members--now want to make a regular size cot quilt.

Original block size 10"; mine 2 1l2"
