I wanted to thank you for the referal to the Ecology Cloth folks. I have been in contact with their daughter(she runs the web site) & I ordered the whole bolt. They do no credit card orders, it is money order or check.
So I sent them a check.

THANK YOU so very much!!!! I appreciate your tip on the cloth & am anxious for it to arrive, however long that might be! :mrgreen:

Riley-I see your post-you do not need to PM Me. And you do not sound ungrateful at all-just really busy. And I understand-MY daughter had an emergency appendectomy last summer and I kept my 3 granddaughters-they were 1, 2 1/2 and almost 4 at the time, so I know about the energetic wearing you out!!!!

Hope you like the ecology cloth--a whole bolt--WOW!! I just buy it in 3 yard increments! :mrgreen:

Melissa-Have you started quilting yet? I cannot wait to see this quilt finished. You are sooo good!!

I had a dark brown that I wanted to use but that setting triangle is such an odd color, it looks good next to the blocks but just wasnt working with different border colors, I tried lighter, darker, same value. maybe I just dont have the perfect color for it. But I do appreciate your input!!!! Thank you!!

Just bringing this back up to look at because its so nice, but also because I was having a look for some quilting books today and in Amazon I found one entitled Civil War Love Quilts. So I am dying for it to arrive to read all about this. Have you heard of it? Thought it was kind of sweet.

Yes thats the one, The Civil War Love Letter Quilt. Got it for 1/2 price too.
They also bring to your attention books that might interest you if you buy certain books and the brought the Civil War Diary Quilt. I was interested in the quilt blocks. Does it show how to do them, or you just get a picture and have find the block.

Elle

It shows a picture of the block and line drawing of the block, no real instructions. At the beginning of the book it tells you how to make a paper piece pattern or templates, which ever way you want to do it. There is a different block for each letter ore diary entry. I think they are 6" blocks.
