I liked Ann's idea of
swapping placement so
I made this piece this morning.
I like it. I think it would be
better as a large quilt, something
to think of in the future.
I'm including some photos
of coverlets that Barbara
talked about on her blog.
I toured the home of
a Civil War General in
New Castle, Indiana
this week.
While I was there a person
was cataloguing the coverlet
collection and she opened
up a few and let me
photograph them.
I love this one!
This house is now the Henry
County Historical Society Museum.
