Civil War Reproduction Quilt

 I can finally post the pictures. This is the Civil War Reproduction Quilt.......I sent it down south to its new home in Lakewood, California, with Don and Judy Payne. Let me see....about three months of stitching, give or take a few days, I suppose....probably at least 250 hours of more stitching time.
 Really fascinating making something like this with actual poems and words from their ancestors.  It's  as if the words were alive again.
Tons of smaller squares set in brown earth tone strips. Fussy little things......but the quilt still came out to be about a small queen size, or large double quilt.  Way fun.
