Civil War Remembered: 19 Quilts Using Reproduction Fabrics

This is a lovely book by a pair who have collected and obviously love Civil War quilts. Their designs are based on those popular in the era, but to showcase, of course, the reproduction fabrics of today. Most are scrappy. None is large enough for a queen bed, but obviously could be enlarged. Most are lap quilts or wall hangings. The color choices are quite lovely, and the instructions straight-forward. Of all the books I’ve looked at for Civil War era quilts, this is my favorite so far. I would enjoy making at least 12 of the 19--not that I will, of course, there being too many quilts to make and too little time. But I will get at least two or three of them made!

This is a beautiful book filled with lovely pictures and excellent directions. I already made one quilt that is 36" square, and it turned out beautifully. I think even a beginning quilter will find patterns that are easy and fast to accomplish.

This is a very good book of nineteen quilts featuring reproduction fabrics. The quilts are lively and quite dynamic (not always the case with Civil War quilt books) and the directions for making the blocks and sewing them together are easy to follow. There are at least six quilts in the book that I would like to make; I would, however, like to make larger versions of the quilts to give to family members. Some historical information is given with each set of quilt instructions. Very nicely done, and highly recommended.

Can’t wait to make a quilt from the book.

I got this for my grandmother for Christmas as she is an avid quilter. I found several quilts/ patterns that I love and I caught her getting lost in reading the book instead of conversing with the family so I think she liked it. This book Does have articles, pictures, and patterns/instructions. Worth it!

So many quick little projects.

Very good quilt patterns and great instructions on making them.

Love this book. Nice patterns but author uses some older piecing methods which take longer.

Love this book. I am planning to make almost every quilt in it. Just waiting for more time in life to do some sewing. All the quilts are beautiful. I would buy just to look at and dream.

I was looking for a particular pattern and found it here. Also found a lot of quilts to make which are my style and coloring. Easy to follow instructions and diagrams. This is my second book from this author

Thanks

This is a very good book. I'm very picky about books I buy and this is well worth the money.

I love having stories that go along with the quilts. its amazing how the ladies of yesteryear were able to do what they did with what they had.

The colors of the quilts in this book are wonderful.

Inspirational with beautiful quilts and photography. Patterns also looked easy enough to follow. Can't wait to dig into my Civil War repro. stash!

Wonderful book! Instructions are well written and the photographs inspiring. I don't know which one to make first - I want them all!

Haven't made anything from the book yet but I like the book very much and will look forward to making a project.

I love quilts and this is a great book! Especially for the Civil War Era.

Lots of patterns I would like to make with the Civil War Era reproduction fabrics I have in my stash!

Well written, using it in a quilting class now. The color choices have been helpful for the final project.

LOVE everything about this book. Can't wait to get started. Great project ideas to use up little bits of many pieces of your stash!

Outstanding book, would purchase again!

I was hoping for more larger quilt patterns.But love it overall.

I bought this for a friend but now think I must get one for myself.

This is a really neat and design easy book. Interesting reading too.

I love this book. I have several of Mary and Connie's books and if you are a fan of their style, this will not disappoint you.

great book

Any Mary Etherington book is good!

Beautiful book and addition to my quilting library. So many great ideas!

Nice book - several ice patterns if you like reproduction fabric and civil war era patterns.

I really loved this book. But then, of course, I really like Civil War fabric colors. They just appeal to me in a special way. Really great book!

Fantastic!

This has some beautiful quilts in this book. A lot of piecing type projects but all the pretty ones take a lot of piecing!

Still settling in after a move. Trying to find a place to put all my fabrics and set up the machine. Great book.

I wanted quilts not wall hangings. .Way too small blocks for me to do. Love the colors and fabrics used

love this and can't wait to get started

I love most books from Mary and Connie! Their fabric/pattern choices are just to my liking. Enjoyed a trip to their shop just before they closed-wish I had been able to travel there sooner.

Love this book
