I picked up a new book recently that I wanted to share with you. If you enjoy Civil War Reproduction fabrics and quilt projects, I think you might really appreciate these books by Carol Hopkins. The first book I ordered was the most recent one, Civil War Legacies III. I enjoyed it so much I ordered volumes I and II as well!
The books are full of patterns and ideas for quilt projects featuring Civil War Reproduction fabrics. Nearly all the projects are super scrappy, and are for smaller sized quilts. I think the small quilts could easily be expanded to make a larger size quilt, either by making more blocks or by making the blocks larger. I love making small quilt tops and using them for table toppers, so this book was right up my alley.
If you have a stash of CW repros, any of these projects would be a great way to make a dent in your stash. If nothing else, they make wonderful reading!

I have one of the three and enjoyed looking at the projects. Nothing has been made yet but someday… There’s just not enough time.
I do like the offering of small projects
and would certainly use them. You are definitely correct in saying they make for good
reading.
I, too, have one of those books and love it! I do want more! Haven’t made anything yet but will one day.
The books are on my wishlist.
I agree these are great books! I have all three. I bought the second book, then ordered the first one. When I heard a third book was coming out, I asked my LQS to notify me when it came in so I wouldn’t have to wait!
I’d love all three of these books.
Those books look very tempting! I’m going over to Amazon for a look!
Love the books & have several of the little quilts. I made the little quilts the individual patterns. I am in the process of re-making Uncle Frank’s Socks.
i don’t love cw fabric but i sure love the block designs used in cw quilts. so beautiful.
