I followed it half way through to make this smaller version. If you scroll through you will see she gives a new pattern each week along with interesting stories about civil war times. There are also photos from participants of their blocks and suggestions from Barbra about yardage and measurements for the finished quilt. Here is a photo of my version


OMG! Now you've done it to me! Between my love of American history, especially the Civil War, and my love of quilting I'll be there forever! see you later :D

I love your quilt too.

I've never seen the brighter blue in Civil War quilts...I always picture them as so drab. But then, I know very little about them! Thanks for sharing your picture.
