If you have ever seen Sherman's March in any of your searches, I have the entire quilt fabric, backing, pattern for anyone who might want to do it. I was going to do it for my son's birthday, and after reading the background stories on the Civil War quilts, didn't make it for him. His name is Sherman, and he was born in Sumter, SC, so I thought I was really on top of my game if I made it for him. So I have the whole thing bagged up, getting rid of it; in black and white mostly, if I remember correctly. PM me for price, etc.

Your sampler is exquisite, I bet you have received so many compliments on it.

Wow that is such an awesome quilt, I agree it is fairly simple but not that quilting. I have never done quilting as such but admire it much. I just have a domestic machine and not sure if I am up to the challenge of my quilting and then some. However, I am considering. Bad part I don't have all of those reds. Thank you for the wonderful post.

Grace, I was never much into Civil War Quilts even though I do now live in the South, just not a native. Anyway, I do like some of the fabrics but not all. So, I found this quilt that I really like because of all the brown fabrics and the pop of the red stars. Also, it looks fairly easy .... except for the quilting of course. Yikes! Love the quilting but could I do it? Very questionable for me but maybe not for you. So check it out. Just another one to add to your thought process but now you are probably over burdened with choices. Sorry!

Looks like Barbara Brackman is doing another CW sampler this year, focusing on the Underground RR.
