Ladies' Legacy Fat Eighth Bundle by Barbara Brackman for Moda 40 Pieces 9" X on sale 22" 8350F8

Ladies' Legacy celebrates a dynamic alliance in New York City in the 1860s. Period prints are drawn from a quilt stitched for a Union soldier's hospital bed but never delivered. Each calico recalls a volunteer who spent the war years in the on sale Woman's Central Relief offices, keeping accounts of donations, shipping crates and barrels to hospitals, quilting in the attic and firing up the patriotic public to donate 34,000 quilts and blankets sent out from their Greenwich Village office.

This collection will benefit the Quilt Research Center at the University of Nebraska Libraries Special Collection.
