Civil War Sampler - lots of pics...
 

I had acquired several pizza boxes of blocks. This particular one held sampler blocks made from Civil War repro fabrics. I know very little about these quilts blocks and hope I did justice in this layout. Faced all the normal challenges: blocks different sizes, different quality of stitching, etc. However, someone will be glad to have this quilt somewhere down the road and it's in a much better place outside of the pizza box!

We did some block specific quilting - for the log cabin, Dresden plate and friendship star we used designs specific to those blocks and then used a collection of 5 or 6 designs for the balance of the blocks. I don't have a pic of the back but we used muslin. Thanks for looking!

I am a sucker for a log cabin, LOL! Nicely done!

What an amazing quilt...especially considering the start of having different sizes to work together! Wonderful!

What a creative setting. I like how you have grouped the colors...divide and conquer at its best.
