Get wrapped up in the loves and lives of 11 Civil War soldiers and the beautiful quilt their stories inspired.

Rebel and Union soldiers fought for different ways of life, but they had one thing in common: the love of their friends, family and sweethearts who wanted them to come home safely. Get a glimpse of the soldiers' hopes, fears and hardships shared in their letters home, and mark their journey with 121 foundation-pieced quilt blocks designed by author Rosemary Youngs.

Easy-to-follow instructions and full-size patterns accompany all block designs, plus bonus designs for a patchwork heart and Civil War soldier appliqués.

Make a single large quilt or any of the 14 other projects, including lap quilts, wall hangings and table runners that feature your favorite block designs.
