Book Description/Synopsis:

The year 2011 marks 150 years from the start of the American Civil War. For the next several years Americans will be honoring the battles, the people and the events that shaped that nation in so many ways. Rosemary Youngs is commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War with a new book featuring 150 blocks. Mixing traditional blocks with original new blocks designs, Rosemary brings to "The Civil War Anniversary Quilts" all the things that readers of her first books loved: accurate instruction, compelling diary entries and letters, stirring images and amazing quilts. Each of the three main sections of the book will feature historical documents from diary entries, to correspondence, to tell the story of the quilt and blocks in that section.
