Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler: 50 Quilt Blocks with Stories from History
Barbara Brackman
Quilt History & BiographyBrackman pairs 50 quilt blocks with the specific Civil War-era history each one is tied to, structured as a block-a-week project rather than a straight history read. It's a distinct, more hands-on companion to her broader fabric-dating references elsewhere in this category — history you piece, not just read about. Suited to quilters who want the Civil War reproduction niche specifically, not general 19th-century quilt history.
