Oh what a beautiful quilt. You should be very proud. Thank you for letting us see it.

This must be English terminology as it's commonly used here in the U.K. A thin quarter is a cut 25cm by the width of the fabric rather than a fat quarter.

Why don't you do a search and get some patterns for civil war blocks? If you have EQ7 I know it has alot of them it's data base. There are lots of different ones to choose from. I've been doing a BOM for 2 yrs now and still havn't repeated doing the same one.

What size is your quilt and how many "skinny" quarters did you use?

That quilt is stunning. Love the colors. Did it take a long time? Looks like it did.
