Description

The Civil War was an important time in American history, and it was also a significant factor in the lives of many quilters. Quilts changed during this era, often based on the available materials, the beliefs of the quilters, and the useful nature of quilts in a time of war.

We know that a great number of quilts were made both for fundraising and soldier's bedding during the Civil War. Many commemorative quilts were made after the war as well. Overall, quilts played a significant role before, during, and after the Civil War.
