[QUOTE=Grace creates;6431579]when i first began quilting i planned on making a civil war log cabin, but it was one of those quilts that never happened. Well I am again getting the itch to make a civil war quilt, but not a log cabin. After spending so much time in the south a log cabin is not the way I want to go with this quilt. 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.[/QUOTE
You could "google" a BOM/blogs and look for links to BOM's that are already done, so you don't have to wait for each new block pattern. I have two saved on my computer to try sometime this winter. I want to try a Baltimore album quilt someday too.
