Civil War Quilt Question
I am planning a Civil War quilt with a stack of Kindred Spirits fat quarters that I won in last summer's Row by Row. I plan to put together some Barbara Backman blocks and others, but want my design to have an applique center. I know I can do whatever I want, but would like to hear from someone knowledgeable on Civil War period designs: are hexagon flowers appropriate or are they from another era? I borrowed 6 books on the subject from the guild library and none show any hexies. Thanks for your help.
