My husband is a huge Civil War buff, so I made this quilt for him out of Civil War reproduction fabrics. The pattern is called "a soldier quilt" which is appropriate for my husband, who is retired Army. In the center of the middle square I put his initials. In the middle of the other squares I put Civil War quotes. My husband loves the quilt and even though he is 6'4" he tries to snuggle under it.

No fuss or bother- make it at your own speed and share pictures on the QB as you want to. I only have 2 blocks done and this will take a while. LOL
