I remember reading an article in a quilt magazine a long time ago about a lady who bought a quilt at a yard sale. She wanted to know about the maker of the quilt. So she went back to the house to ask the lady she bought it from and the lady she bought it from didn’t want to talk about it. She somehow researched the quilt for 3 years and finally discovered that it was made during the civil war by a lady who had 2 sons fighting on different sides of the war. The quilt was made in the 2 colors (grey I think for the Confederacy) and blue (I think) for the Union.
