I have no Civil War fabrics in my stash so I get to go shopping. Woohoo!
Well, I DID it!! I lived up to the nickname my DH gave me many years ago -- Fabric Fingers. I went to the fabric shop and found all of the fabrics that I need for the quilt. Also picked up the book -- Big Book of Quick Rotary Cutter Quilts, Pam Bono Designs. (Remember the precious truck quilt, Keep on Truckin' that was posted a few weeks ago?) On the way home, I stopped at an Italian buffet, found a cozy table and looked through the book while I ate. When I got home, I began washing some of the fabric. There's nothing like a new book and a new stack of fabric.
