    Breaking up this quilt with the maps and memorabilia in the plain blocks is a wonderful idea. It gives this quilt a story to tell..Great for a man's quilt..good job!

    It was more work but a very effective way to use the Civil War fabric. It makes the quilt much more dramatic and tells a story. Hope your hubby enjoys it.
