I think it is just gorgeous. I love the light colors. Civil war quilts do not have to be dark and brown . They used a lot of color but most have faded over the years. I refused to make any of those quilts because I don't like "dark". One day I was in a shop I really like and the owner said that is a mistake made by many quilters. She took me by the hand and showed me the reds, greens, blues, pinks and golds. She got my attention and now I am hooked!!!
