Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler - Barbara Brackman

Barbara Brackman’s Civil War Sampler is a paperback quilting book that brings together fifty quilt blocks created to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Written by bestselling author and quilt historian Barbara Brackman, it combines block patterns with historical context, drawing on symbolism in each block name to recount stories connected with the mid-1800s.

Alongside the patterns, Barbara Brackman includes period photographs, first-person accounts and images of sampler quilts for inspiration. The book presents a mix of pieced and appliquéd blocks, each shown in two colourways, with instructions for assembling two sizes. It is suited to quilters with an interest in patchwork, quilting and textile history, whether planning a tribute quilt or exploring individual block designs.
