Stitching on Civil War Quilt

 What an experience it is, working on this quilt.  I love reading the letters behind the civil war....so many letters, and no time to stitch them all. This quit is coming together like a dream...the backing and batting and top piece all seem to mesh into one. Well, it's a lot easier to  hand quilt, I think, than it is to use a machine. And it looks much more  real more like you touched the fabric.  I am not a big fan of maching quilting.
I'm probably about almost 3/4 done on the quilting...somewhere about there. Won't take too long...not sure how long, and I won't guesstimate....no pressure. I wanted this to be an experience and it is.  I think I'll make another one.....great to stitch with purpose....
