Civil War and 74!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just finished this Civil War quilt top. It is a 74th birthday present for my brother-in-law. He is an expert on Civil War history, but not on quilts. I'm adding a legend on the back with the history of each block. The blue looks like a bright blue, but it is navy and the sashing looks light blue, but is dove gray. Crazy camera![ATTACH=CONFIG]401520[/ATTACH]

Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful! He will love it, especially since he is a Civil War buff.

I know he will love it, I love the 30s fabric, it is a wonderful quilt. Hope you show pictures when it is quilted.

GORGEOUS! He will treasure it and I pray it becomes a family heirloom for 100's of years to come. Great job.
