The Quilt for my next project

Some Fabrics to start with

 above are some fabrics I have chosen to start with - some are reproductions fabrics -

This Quilt is made up of forty blocks from the civil war era with detailed explanation of their historical significance. The top blocks represent the Union States, the middle represents the Border States and the bottom represents the Confederacy- with 6, 9" blocks inspired by the book "Hidden in Plain View" -
