Linda Bergmann's Civil War Color Schemes

Linda Bergmann, Civil War Elegance

I found a picture on the web in a group of favorites from Sacramento's River City Quilt Show in 2013. I liked Linda's palette and then when I looked at a close-up I could see why.

She's used several fabrics from my Civil War Reunion collection for Moda from a few years ago. I am impressed by the way Linda uses modern paper-piecing techniques and Karen-Stone-inspired design with the old-fashioned palette derived from natural dyes.

Various photos show the colors slightly different but I hope you get the picture.

Linda's been winning a lot of ribbons with her quilts over the past few years.
