New Weekly Quilt History Block for the Civil War

Barbara Brachman has a new Block of the Month for a Civil War quilt based on the Diary of Sarah Morgan Dawson, a young girl in Louisiana during the War.  If you have not ever looked at this site, you don't want to miss it!  Each quilt square is accompanied by a well researched look into the times through the eyes of an individual back then.  The information on the actual fabrics and appropriate reproduction ones will help you find fabrics for your next dress.  Visit this site each Saturday to see what is new...
