Barbara Brackman has written a lot about quilts and the Civil War. In honor of the 150th anniversary Barbara has started a separate blog called Civil War Quilts, taking stories and patterns from her books and block-of the-month patterns. You can go to Barbara's blog (Material Culture) and read about how this all came about. Then you will want to jump over to Civil War Quilts and learn more about this war and make a block every week. At the end of the year we will have 52 blocks to make a quilt. Here is the first one
Catch Me If You CanLet's sharpen our American history lessons skills this year :-)

Thanks for sharing this! I have a few friends who are really into the civil war quilts right now and I'm sure they'd love to check out her blog! :)
I saw another blogger had done this block. It looks like it will be fun to follow along.
Your block looks great!!
That is a pretty pattern. To answer your question about my father's teddy bear, I think he has stuffing. He is very soft. Thanks for stopping by.
