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

Quiltmakers in the mid-nineteenth century made quilts for many of the reasons we make quilts today: to celebrate a wedding, a new child, or a special event for a loved one. They also made quilts to represent and support the events, struggles, and ideals of their lifetimes, especially in turbulent times -- and no time in our history was more turbulent than the Civil War. Members of the American Quilt Study Group accepted the challenge to study a quilt from the Civil War era,1850 to 1865, and create a modern quilt of their own that in some way reflects or reproduces the original. How would the modern quilter interpret a quilt from 150 years ago? This book showcases the fifty study quilts created for the Civil War challenge, along with images of the antique quilts that gave each quilter their inspiration. AQSG invites you to enjoy and reflect on the finished products, and follow each quiltmakerâ€™s journey from inspiration to creation, through the thoughts and reflections they have shared about the history, process, and significance of quilting from 1850 to today.
