New Quilt Books

Just got some new quilt books in the mail the other day.

One of the books is actually an old book, but one I

have been looking for a while.

I am so excited about Civil War quilts and the history

behind them. 

A dear friend introduced me to the

'Dear Jane' quilt a couple of years ago.

While I didn't realize it at first, I was

falling in love with the stories and women behind the quilts.

Both North and South. 

My friend had already finished a lot of the Dear Jane squares and if you

haven't seen the quilt, you can find it online.  There is so much

involved in working on just one small square.

I am busy collecting civil war fabric to start mine one day.

In the mean time I started cutting our hexagons in civil war fabric.

I still have a lot more hexagons to go.

I may just make a wall hanging...will see.

Here is a picture of the fabrics I have cut out so far.
