I know several of you have already joined Mary in her Heartstrings Quilt Project - but just in case there are any new people who read my blog that have not heard about it - they have created a new website.Go to http://heartstringsquiltproject.com/ and you can learn more about it.
One thing I love about it is that anyone can participate on any level. You can make 1 block or 100+ and for those that choose to complete their own top they get to decide where the quilt gets donated - a charity of their choice.
I can't wait to watch this project develop during the year - there will be many quilts donated all across the country I am sure. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteYou don't have your email showing on your profile so I can't answer the question you put on my blog in an email. (You might think about changing that setting so it's easier to respond to your comments.) Yes, many of the fabrics in the picture are Civil War fabrics. Some are earlier - from 1810 to 1850 or later. If you go to www.zandsfabrics.com and check the new fabrics, you can see them. I got the following lines: Hattiesburg (January), Lancaster County 2, Civil War Backgrounds and Regency 2 (December), Regency 1 (October) and Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum 1880's (Marcus Brothers folder). They carry lots and lots of the 19th century fabrics as great prices.
