Create your own historically inspired friendship quilt with twelve popular blocks from the Civil War era. Each album block comes with design variations and an optional center flourish, plus setting instructions. Read compelling narratives of the women who found their hearts divided during the war, yet left a legacy of friendship quilts as proof of their bond.
"Inspired by friendship quilts created between 1840 and 1861, Brackman focuses on women with 'divided hearts, ' Northern women living in the South, and Southern women educated in the North, or with families divided by the Civil War . . . readers learn about twelve women's lives that spanned the divide. Photographs and maps accompany the biographies. History comes alive through these women . . . You don't have to be a quilt maker to enjoy reading the history and biographies of these amazing women." --The Literate Quilter
"The historical narratives about the women are so interesting . . . The quilts are beautiful and I love the idea of a friendship quilt . . . [an] amazing book." --Crafty Moms Share”
