"This book focuses on the stories of women whose friendships spanned the Mason-Dixon line during the Civil War, as well as 12 Civil War-era blocks for you to reproduce in your own quilts"--

The techniques demonstrated in this book are modern, but the projects and patterns are based on quilts from the era of the American Civil War and convey an authentic feel of that period. Photographs, diary excerpts, and letters introduce the women from the North and South who crafted these quilts.
