I made this rag quilt for my daughter. Her boyfriend wanted one but not in girly colors. My LQS had a sale so I purchased civil war fabric to make him one. While chatting with my daughter, I mentioned the great buys and how much I saved on all my purchases. She said she was sorry she had asked for a quilt because she had no idea how expensive the fabric was. I told her I bought fabric because I love her and like the fabric. I finally had a reason to buy civil war fabric.
