A must-read for Civil War enthusiasts and quilters seeking accurate information on reproducing Civil War quilts. The stories of fourteen extraordinary Civil War quilts and the women who made them bring you face to face with the drama of war and its effect on thousands of lives. Some of these quilts tell love stories others relate the determination of women seeking an active role in the war effort, but all represent efforts to support the fighting men. The book contains patterns and information for making "bock by block" or "potholder" quilts, with more than 45 quilt block patterns with templates for hand piecing or rotary cutting for machine piecing. Also included is information on reproduction fabrics and selecting contemporary fabrics for reproducing Civil War soldiers quilts today. This second edition also features a lively discussion of the Jane Stickle quilt, one of the most famous quilts made during the Civil War. With patterns rich in personal histories and strong visuals, author Pamela Weeks continues to deliver, and then some.  Hardcover, 180 pages
