"To a fabulous quilted journey through history with these 50 stunning quilt blocks. This remarkable book features fifty quilt blocks to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War. Although many of these blocks weren't designed until the 1930s, but renowned quilt historian Barbara Brackman selected each one for the unique symbolism its name lends to recounting stories of the war during the mid-1800s. Choose from a variety of pieced or appliqued blocks, each shown in two colourways with instructions for assembling two sizes - 8"" and 12""."
