Civil War Era Charms

A charm pack and a piece of coffee stained muslin were put together to make this great wall quilt.  Each block has 4 charms in it cut into small HST's (Half Square triangles) and muslin squares.  If I did it again I might mix them up more.  I also liked best the blocks that had all similar colors (gold and red) versus more colors per block. (Blue and brown and gold and red.)
The quilt was stitched in the ditch and finished with a hand quilted border. I put a light weight poly bat (easiest for hand quilting) and I love the way it softly drapes.
