    Default Civil War Fabric

    This was the pattern on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2017 Fons & Porters Love of Quilting magazine. I made mine smaller and with WAY different fabrics. I had some fabrics that were mainly Andover (by Jo Morton), then I filled in the gaps with stuff from my stash. The vision in my head was different than how it actually turned out, but overall I am happy with the result. Thanks for looking :-)

    I don't know what your vision was but you have made a super quilt. I love it. The colors and the pattern are super. The quilting is great. BrendaK

    Lovely calm colors, a very cozy looking quilt. The wreath quilting is so pretty and really sets off those areas.

    That is a really lovely quilt. I probably never would have put those colors/fabric together but you have and it worked out so well. The blocks really get to stand out but not so much that it overwhelms the whole design of the quilt. Beautiful!
