I love Civil War and hope it stays around for a long time.I think scrap quilts from our stashes due to the economy is very popular right now.I am trying to use my stash of which I have a lot,that I was able to acquire when I worked and my DH and I traveled.Now that he is gone and I am retired I have to watch what I spend.I still only buy my fabric from QS.I am not going to spend a long time on a quilt to have it fall apart in a few years.Also good quality thread is important.I have seen people spend $8.00 plus a yard and then sew it with a .50 cent spool of thread.I check sales a lot.
