    I have not pieced one but I am quilting one for someone right now. Seeing it makes me want to do one for myself and the civil war repro prints have really grown on me.

    I am currently working on "The Long Road Home" quilt for my son. I can't tell you how much easier my life is when I decided to order the 'kit'. Having to pick out all those fabrics myself....well, let's just say the LQS might not be OPEN long enough for me to make all those decisions :-D

    The quilt was a Block of the Month club (BOM) through my friends Local Quilt Shop (LQS).

    The quilting designs I am using I designed myself using Victorian motifs and some stencils that have that same sort of look. No pattern involved for the quilting.

    Here are links to pictures I posted:
