Here is a Civil War 4-patch quilt I made for my oldest brother (Using all Civil War Reproduction fabrics) , modeled by Attila.
Baby quilt for cousin Jodie, who wanted reds and flannels.
I always wanted a poison green and cheddar quilt. The center was from a class on the Rose of Sharon applique and the blocks were worked on over the summers at Civil War reenactment events.
This was so big I had to take it to a friends house to lay it out and pin baste it! It was peach and mint 'barn door' blocks made for my aunt after her house burned down.

Very clever! I haven't the patience to do quilting but I do love seeing what other people can do. Both my daughters took quilting classes and make some lovely things.
Ahh! Does it take patience to eat a banana split? NO! Does it take patience to make a quilt? NO!!!! Patience is what you need when you are waiting in the dentists office. But when you quilt, there is no patience required. It is a labor of love and a joy from beginning to end. The point of quilting is, if it took patience, NOBODY would ever make a quilt! Possibly you just THINK it requires patience because you think it is a very long process to make one. But actually, it's just one joyous piece at a time.
Oooh what beautiful quilts...I so admire anyone who can quilt! It's something I've never learned to do but my husband's mom and sisters used to quilt all the time and I was always in awe of their work. I love it when people make a quilt using pieces of clothes, tablecloths, etc., from family members...I always thought what a wonderful heirloom that would be! Hugs xoxo
