Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Worthwhile New Book

Civil war books

I picked up a new book recently that I wanted to share with you.  If you enjoy Civil War Reproduction fabrics and quilt projects, I think you might really appreciate these books by Carol Hopkins.  The first book I ordered was the most recent one, Civil War Legacies III.  I enjoyed it so much I ordered volumes I and II as well!  

The books are full of patterns and ideas for quilt projects featuring Civil War Reproduction fabrics.  Nearly all the projects are super scrappy, and are for smaller sized quilts.  I think the small quilts could easily be expanded to make a larger size quilt, either by making more blocks or by making the blocks larger.  I love making small quilt tops and using them for table toppers, so this book was right up my alley.

If you have a stash of CW repros, any of these projects would be a great way to make a dent in your stash.  If nothing else, they make wonderful reading!

  1. I have one of the three and enjoyed looking at the projects. Nothing has been made yet but someday… There’s just not enough time.
    I do like the offering of small projects
    and would certainly use them. You are definitely correct in saying they make for good
    reading.

  10. I agree these are great books! I have all three. I bought the second book, then ordered the first one. When I heard a third book was coming out, I asked my LQS to notify me when it came in so I wouldn’t have to wait!
