Civil War Era style quilt top

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Re-Piecing the Past: Civil War Blocks Then & Now »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Traditional


Materials

cotton scraps

What was your inspiration?

I like piecing so this class sounded interesting.

What are you most proud of?

That I stuck to it when the busy piecing of the sashing started to seem overwhelming

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make it your own. Use colors that you want. Mine is super busy because it's so scrappy but I was determined to do an entire quilt top (minus the border) without having to purchase a single fabric. Would it look more "together"if I had been more traditional in my fabric choices? Probably but that's not what I was going after.
