Civil War Diaries
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you enjoy history and quilts, this is an excellant book to combine both. Interesting reading and I'm anxious to start the quilt blocks. Pictures of the quilt blocks are very clear but do need to know the basics of quiltmaking to make the blocks as there are no instructions with the blocks.
History and quilt blocks rolled up in one

This book is fascinating! If you enjoy civil war era history and like to make pieced quilt blocks, this is the book for you. Unlike the Dear Jane blocks, these are all pieced blocks or foundation paper piecing (no applique, thank goodness), and they are 6 1/2 inches instead of Jane's small 4 1/2 inches. Much easier to work with. Good photography, wonderful examples!
Great book, great quilts

I bought this book not knowing what to expect, but the stories are riveting with the diary entries on the pages and the quilt blocks that match the stories are truly beautiful. If only the quilt blocks had the patterns with it!

Excellent book for quilters as well as those interested in history. Only disappointment was the patterns - difficult to copy.

A wonderful book! Enjoyed reading the diaries of our quilting mothers! Sit down and pour a cup tea and enjoy going back in time! How brave these women were.
