Civil War Legacies III: A Treasury of Quilts for Reproduction-Fabric Lovers Paperback – April 19, 2016

Like Carol Hopkins’ earlier editions, Civil War Legacies III does not disappoint!Carol’s small quilts are perfect for a rainy weekend, a quilter’s retreat or to use the small blocks for row by row and other exchanges. The pattern names and introductions are so descriptive and interesting that you are transported to experience her inspiration.Carol’s tips to add interest in color, fabric patterns and final assembly are perfect for all levels; and written with personal pronouns to make you feel like you are sewing together.While it’s hard to pick a single favorite - the finished quilting detail, variety of shirtings and the subtle use of reds that pop against the tans and blues in Uncle Frank’s socks, keep me turning back to see again and again.Carol’s quilt designs, along with the quality of printing and photography and attention to detail by Martingale, have produced a warm collection of Civil War-era quilts with easy to follow instructions.Am looking forward to Carol’s volume IV!

I really like the look of the three books you sent me so promptly. Due to show preparation I have not yet had time to make any of these delightful quilts but feel sure they are little winners. I feel sure that the authoress Carol Hopkins is a professional person, and probably a meticulous quilter. Errors in measurements are most unlikely and judging from the charming colours and patterns with their quaint names, her work will be superb. I am delighted to have these three books in my sewing room. Pure joy ahead!!

WOW! I have the other two books in this series as well and I love them all! This is one of those books that makes you want to dig through your scraps and make every quilt in here! Each quilt has a little story that goes along with it, some historical and some from family history. The fabrics she uses are phenomenal. This book absolutely has earned a place among my very favorite quilt books!

I have been making reproduction quilts for more than a decade. In recent years I have started to make small and miniature quilts from the growing variety and beautiful civil war fabrics. Can't wait to make some of the patterns in this wonderful book.

Civil War Legacies III is another wonderful book by Carol Hopkins. Like in her previous books the instructions are easy to follow with great illustrations. I especially like the close-up photographs of the quilts. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reproduction quilts.By P Schweitzer

This is the third of the legacies books. I love them all but this is really special and I have already kitted up fabric for three of them. They are great quilts to do on retreats. The instructions are good and the quilts are adorable in any color range.

impressed with the direction in the book

This is one of the books I am treasuring after adding it to my Civil war repro Library.

I was hoping this was a book on actual sized quilts, not small wall hangings. They are lovely designs but I wanted to make queen sized quilts and not wall hangings. It arrived in a timely manner, as always, from Amazon.

J'avais déjà beaucoup aimé les deux premiers livres de Carol Hopkins , alors , je n'ai pas hésité pour avoir le troisième .Très bien présenté !!! On a des envies, des envies , des envies .....

Livre parfait en particulier pour des mini quilts avec des photos couleurs de chaque patchwork
