In War Time: A Study of Civil War Era Quilts 1850 - 1865

A most interest book Particularly if you are a quilter interested in your county's history and the stories behind the quilting ladies blocks A great book

Excellent book with reproduction quilts reproduced from civil war era quilts. Each quilt has an essay written by the maker as well as a photo of the original quilt. It is rare to find a quilt book today with 50 quilts in color at this price.

looking for a resource for civil war quilts. The quilts showcased were beautiful. I was disappointed that the civil war original quilts were displayed in such a small photo..was hoping to see the original civil war quilt in a full size photo along with the reproduction.

The stories behind each quilt the contestants chose to replicate are interesting and gives us just a little look into the lives of this era during the Civil War. Beautiful pieces of our history all sewn and bundled up in a warm blanket.

Disappointing. I was hoping it would have large pictures of antique quilts but instead it had very large pictures of today's people carrying out an interpretation of the antique quilts. Some were reasonable, some were very basic and none were as good as the antique ones. The microscopic pictures of the antique quilts make this book hardly worth buying if that is what you want. It's a pity because I wanted to support the Quilt Study Group but I think they missed the mark with this one.

New and old quilts are fabulous.Worth the price.

Since I have quilts dating into the 1800's and two great grandfathers who fought in the Civil War (one on either side), this book filled in some missing quilt links.

Wonderful book. I loved reading the reasons why the quilters chose they particular quilts to replicate. And then see how they compared to the originals.

An interesting book and good to dip into. I should have liked to know more about the original quilts and the significance of some of the designs. Photos show interesting details and gave me ideas to complete my own project.

Very enlightening
