Bobbie's Civil War Sampler
 
2 Attachment(s)
Bobbie worked long and hard on her Civil War Sampler quilt. But it is well worth it!! Wish you could see it in person as she did a wonderful job matching her points and her colors are amazing. We chose Hobbs 80/20 batting and a neutral thread to custom quilt it; doing a lot of ruler work with no computer nor stitch regulator.

Fabulous quilt. I have been collecting civil war fabrics for about a year and a half and a sampler quilt is the pattern I want to make. Love your quilt!!!!

I am not usually a big fan of CW prints, but this could bring me over to the other side!! Wonderfully done.

Beautiful -- great work by both of you!

At first I was wondering why you were talking about yourself in the 3rd person. Took me a minute to realize your client name was Bobbie too. :D

Great job. I can't imagine doing ruler work with no Stitch Regulator. I'd probably wear out my on off button if I tried that.

Harmony 06-16-2014 09:51 AM

Outstanding job from both of you! I really love this one!

Unbelievably beautiful. Both the piecing and the quilting are amazing. That's on my bucket list also. Started collecting CW fabrics. A true beauty.

An amazing quilt. I agree with you that the colors and piecing are perfection and I add that your quilting is breathtaking.

Absolutely lovely! What is the name of the block in yellow on the bottom, it looks like a sideways H?

luana 06-16-2014 06:12 PM

"doing a lot of ruler work with no computer nor stitch regulator".

I think they call this art! It's beautiful, and I applaud you for your "handwork".

According to Barbara Brackman it is The H Block, representing the make-shift Hospitals that were set up in hotels or most any large building they could convert into hospitals for the wounded. There is so much history in each block! Love the quilt! I have the book but have only made a few of the blocks for a table runner that I made as a surprise for one of our library volunteers who is very interested in the Civil War. Don't think I got a picture of it.
