His name is Sherman, and he was born in Sumter, SC, so I thought I was really on top of my game if I made it for him. So I have the whole thing bagged up, getting rid of it; in black and white mostly, if I remember correctly. PM me for price, etc.
    What background on civil war quilts did you not like? Anything besides being in that era?

    Like you I PLAN a lot...spend all of my time doing planning.
    I found a quote today and printed it out and stuck it on my kitchen cupboard...Maybe this will help me and you.

    Your sampler is exquisite, I bet you have received so many compliments on it.

    Wow that is such an awesome quilt, I agree it is fairly simple but not that quilting. I have never done quilting as such but admire it much. I just have a domestic machine and not sure if I am up to the challenge of my quilting and then some. However, I am considering. Bad part I don't have all of those reds. Thank you for the wonderful post.

Love the quilting but could I do it? Very questionable for me but maybe not for you. So check it out. Just another one to add to your thought process but now you are probably over burdened with choices. Sorry!

    Absolutely beautiful! Just came across this searching for quilt ideas for some Barbara Brackman Moda fabrics I got today (Morris Modernized). Any suggestions?

    Looks like Barbara Brackman is doing another CW sampler this year, focusing on the Underground RR.

    Go on Pinterest and type in the search bar. There are tons of pics of the civil war quilts to view.
