It is a pattern called Glory Bound by Bonnie Blue Quilts. I saw the pattern and the quilt last year made with Civil War fabrics....Needless to say, I bought the pattern.... It was beautiful! :lol:

I'm doing a Seven Sisters pattern in Civil War repros. This pattern was very popular in the South in the mid to late 1800s. Below is a sample of one of the blocks. These are very easy to make when using a no-set-in-seams method of piecing.

Here are some pictures from Better Homes and Gardens new "Antique Quilts" magazine that just came out. Plus, here's a link to order one. I just received a copy and it's fabulous!

That's beautiful. Mom made a kingsize Seven Sisters for my husband and I when we married. She was from the South and it was one of her favorite blocks.

wow, I didn't know you could do them that way. Mom always used diamonds and did everything by hand.
