Here's a sneak preview of the cover of the book. The designer recently sent a picture---I'm just giving you a preview as it's a secret, you know. It'll be called Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler but it should be Barbara and Becky's Civil War Sampler---as it's Becky's quilt up there.
Liberty & Union,by Becky Brown
85'' by 101 1/2'' ,
machine quilted by Deb Jacobs, 2011.
You'll recognize the blocks from the many posts in 2011.
Thanks to Becky!

Great choice for the cover. A beautiful quilt!
Oh this is fabulous! Love it.
What an awesome quilt! It's perfect for the cover.
How exciting for you to see this sneak preview. How perfect to put Becky's quilt on the cover. You both did an amazing job of leading us through the blocks each week. It was a wonderful and unique experience, both in gaining skills and friendships, both real life and cyber space, I shall look forward to the book release.
How exciting! I should rename my quilt "Friendship Quilt" - Thanks to everyone who made this project so much fun by sharing your blocks and comments. I can't wait to see what Barbara has tucked inside the book. Happy sewing, everyone.
Becky did a beautiful job on the quilt, love the fabrics and beautiful piecing. I got the civil war woman book, so today i will work up a block and see how I do.

So exciting - Becky is a CoverGirl. It is going to be wonderful, and I can't wait to turn the pages.

Becky, you did a fabulous job and your quilt has a well deserved place of honor as the cover quilt!
I'll be looking forward to seeing it in print. Cheers, Cathy vJ in MA
I was expecting this book ! each week I printed the blocks and explanations but could not print of course all the stories behind these blocks and I was certain that some of these days all these posts would become a book. I will certainly buy it as soon as it is published so as to complete my Barbara Brackman's books collection. Thanks a lot Barbara...
This is one book I can't wait to get!
The book cover is beautiful and I can't wait to look inside, congratulations Becky on being a cover girl and thank you Barbara for such a fun project that I am slowly catching up and will someday finish!
This would have to be one of the most anticipated quilting history books for a long time Barbara!!! Of course you know that you already have a wide captive audience of dedicated quilt hisory lovers don't you LOL!!!!! Thankyou for that little tease peek of the cover, it'll be awesome and I can't believe it'll be available at the end of the year, can't wait!!!!
Thank you so much for putting it into book form. All my printouts are getting messy. I'll be online ordering it the day it comes out!
Perfect cover! Love it!
