I recently got interested and am collected Civil War fabric also. Also been doing 1930's reproduction fabric with grandmother's flower garden pattern hand piecing and love doing it. For Civil War, I haven't decided on a pattern but I know that Barbara Brackman is an author and has many books on Civil War patterns along with some history in them. Recently signed up for her blog, so we'll see how that works. I too would be interested in any more pattern recommendations for Civil War fabric.
