Civil War Quilt

Another January quilt is a one made by Bonnie Eberly. It is made with reproduction Civil War fabrics and is the first of that kind that I have quilted. Before starting I researched the type of handquilting that was done during that time period. The two major sources that I used was Barbara Brackman's 
Quilts From the Civil War and the online Quilt Index. From these sources I decided to quilt straight across all three boarders and sashings with pairs of lines about an inch appart. Each 12" block is quilted differently using "elbow designs", diagonal pairs, tripple lines and a small fan. I have two more #Civil War quilts in the queue so watch for them in the near future.
