Any idea's on blocks to use. I have seen some block of the month quilt's that are nice but I'm really not into the block of the month deal either. Pictures of civil war quilts would also be welcome on this post as they are so nice to admire and info about civil war quilts is also interesting.
Check out Quilter's Cache and do a sampler of Civil War patterns. They have all sizes and shapes, designs, whatever you need. I always use Quilter's Cache and I love it. Go for the names of the blocks - There are a lot of them and also you can pick what you like. Good luck - I find that finding the blocks I want just as, if not more so, exciting as sewing the blocks. Enjoy. Edie
