I would second that! My LQS has this made up in Civil War repros and it's GORGEOUS - the photo here doesn't do it justice, at all: http://lonestarhouseofquilts.com/ind...oducts_id=6876 The Civil War fabrics can be made to lean very masculine or feminine or neutral - the rich colors are cozy and home-y.

This magazine contains a nice pattern from Lone Star: http://lonestarhouseofquilts.com/ind...oducts_id=7171

I did one of their BoM quilts with similar blocks called Lady of the Lake. I used Triangulations papers to keep the HSTs perfectly sized from one month to the next. Those papers are little miracles for HSTs and QSTs - anything triangular was my nemesis until I bought Triangulations.
