I basted some together and laid them out on top of muslin to see how they look. What do you think? Too dull?

I would not change a thing. these are so pretty.

I think they are beautiful. Remember, Civil War fabrics never were bright, these are gorgeous. Leave them like they are.
|
I think the quilt will be beautiful. Keep going and when you are finished please post pictures!!

I am a big fan of Civil War fabric. I recently took a king size quilt to my LQS to be LA and the gal tried politely to explain how she would LA it. She was trying to describe my fabric and she called it "muddy" and I told her it was Civil War fabric and then she got it. I have to order Civil War fabric online because I can't get it any place around me (2 hours drive even). Some people love it and some people just don't get it, I guess. But it's my all time favorite fabric. I hoard CW fabric!!

I think your hexagons are lovely, they have a lovely old-fashioned look.
|
The blocks have a warm, comforting look.
|
I love these, and I love civil war fabrics, they always seem homey to me, I guess they are a comfort fabric. Can't wait to see more.
