Oh, this is going to be fun! I’m going to take each quilt from the book out of the box and take its picture in my house and I will post them each day for 19 days – my own little book review. I love these quilts and hope to make several of them myself. Since we no longer have a retail shop, we won’t be selling this book, Civil War Remembered, published by Martingale but I’m sure you can order it online or ask your local quilt shop to order it for you. You might even try Amazon – anyone who has pre-ordered this book, will you post in the comments where you found it and everybody read the comments so I don’t have to go back and post it again. Our friend, Mary Ellen, owner of Little Quilts in Marietta, GA will be carrying it and I’m sure you could contact her to order it.
Stop back this afternoon for answers to some recent questions.
Martingale sent out an email about your new book. They notified me when it was available. The book was ordered this morning, can’t wait to see it in person.
I pre-ordered my copy at Barnes and Noble and am being given free shipping as a B&N member. I didn’t need to meet a minimum.
Looking forward to the next 19 days.
What a great idea, Mary!!!
Preordered mine from Amazon.
LOVE IT!!!
I’m looking for the book ” Rugs from Rags”. Is this one of yours? Amazon lists it, but it isn’t available. I’m a serious quilter 🙂 and lots of scrap fabric. If this book is yours, can you help me get it?
Thanks!
You can get one at http://www.farmchickquilts.com. Look under County Threads patters and books.
Yes, this is our book. You can purchase it from Mandy at Farm Chick quilts.

I preordered mine from Amazon. Can’t wait to receive it!
A question: When you make triangle squares, you cut 2 squares diagonally and then sew them together on the diagonal. Do you have to trim the completed triangle square or does it come out to the necessary size?
It seems that no matter how careful I am with my seams or the method I use, they always need to be trimmed…..
Betty – I hate trimming to size so I always cut the correct mathematical measurement – add 7/8″ to whatever finished size triangle square you want. Connie is in love with Thangles and you will have perfect triangle squares every time – guaranteed!
Thank you for your reply. I’m going to have to experiment with the different ways again. Trimming takes time, but if we don’t start out with the right size, the finished block won’t come out right…..
I will have the book and am doing a Civil War Club that meets monthly using this book. Can not wait to get started. Polly Perkins, Pecatonica, Illinois
You can pre order the book on Am
Amazon is taking pre orders.
I saw where you can preorder it at Amazon. Kindle version and Paperback are both available.
Luckily I had a gift card for Amazon and pre ordered. Looking forward to seeing each quilt as Mary posts them in her home. Sorry I missed seeing Mandy’s sale at Farm Chick Quilts.
Love, love, love this quilt!!!
I went to Amazon as soon as you showed us the book on your blog. It is available for preorder. I am excited!
Mary, maybe Mandy is going to carry it? Just a thought.
Whoops – I didn’t read all the comments and see that Mandy is on it….
I was able to pre-order your new book on Amazon. I didn’t look anywhere else. Looks like a great book to help use some of my collection of Civil War fabric.
