Editorial Reviews
Book Description

In this colorful book, rich photographs and oral histories of 29 Southern quilts that survived the Civil War offer perspectives on life in the South during the most turbulent time in American history. Sadly, we do not have Annie Dardent's Disunion Quilt, but among those featured are…

Confederate Cradle Quilt - a work of red and white silk and black velvet made by Mrs. Robert E. Lee, Mrs. Jefferson Davis, and friends in 1863 in Richmond, Virginia
Alabama Gunboat Quilt - an appliqued, embroidered, and stuffed quilt produced and sold as part of a campaign to raise funds to build Confederate gunboats
Irish Chain with Applique - a prewar quilt given to a wounded Northern soldier by a kindly Southern Lady who nursed him back to health
