    I think civil war fabrics would be good for this one.

    Do whatever you feel will give you the most pleasure as you make it.

    I definitely like the look with the civil war fabrics - but also can be surprising at how well it would look in other fabrics. I would go with what colors, patterns you would like.

    Love the pattern. Civil War fabrics would definitely do it justice. I am not an enthusiast of "old timey" fabrics, I'm more of the bright, loud, bold colors, but this pattern cries out for Civil War or "country" fabrics. Go with your first instinct as others have said here.

    Good luck with your choice! Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

    I think using Kaffee Fasset fabrics with a white background would be striking.

    I just love this pattern. I've used it as the wallpaper on my computer screen.
