The pieced Civil War pattern series here at Civil War Quilts for next year is Confederados. A dozen simple Nine Patch blocks on the theme will be posted on the second Wednesday of each month beginning on January 14, 2026.
Confederados: Look Away Dixieland tells tales of expatriate Southerners who left the U.S. after Confederate collapse. They traveled south to Mexico and Brazil and east to England and France. Some lived out their lives in foreign exile. Others, disappointed once again, returned to the States.
I've long lived near Missouri where several Missouri expatriates are still considered heroes. We've been taught little about the Confederados, as they were called in Latin America. I've wondered about these families who refused to live in the victorious Union so I spent some time reading about the men and women who chose exile and alienation and will tell you twelve tales.
Block Style
The simple blocks---stitched by our able model makers to show off each month---feature a Nine-Patch with narrow center strips and a square in the center. You can choose 10'or 15" finished blocks in the monthly patterns.
The 15" blocks set side by side finish to 45" x 60" before the border. The "official set" for the 10" blocks includes sashing finishing to 8" with a borderless quilt top of 62" x 80".
Elsie Ridgley's Alternate Block
She loves that William-Morris-style print.
And so do I.
For a larger quilt you can set the monthly blocks with sashing and an alternate Nine Patch, which is patterned below.

Jeanne Arnieri is working with contemporary red, white & blues, rather subdued.
We have a Facebook page where you can post your progress and keep track of where we are each month.

Exploring historical American quilt projects through themed initiatives like Confederados: 2026 Pieced Civil-War-Themed Block of the Month offers quilting enthusiasts and history buffs an engaging way to connect with nineteenth-century textile traditions. Block-of-the-month programs allow makers to tackle intricate piecing techniques—such as flying geese, half-square triangles, and star blocks—one manageable segment at a time using reproduction civil war fabrics with rich madder reds and indigo blues. Quilting guilds and historical sewing blogs frequently share layout guides, historical context notes, and fabric coordination tips for these heritage projects.
