Confusion and Turmoil

As I read along in Rosemary's book, I cannot imagine a war going on just outside my home. Emma writes about the 'confusion' that is brought into her community during the Civil War. She writes about frantically packing anything of value to be moved out of their home while listening to the booming of cannons. That would be enough to rattle anyone's nerves. I can't even imagine it... 

I pulled fabric from my Civil War stash, if you could see all
my fabric you would laugh... I have enough for a couple of these
quilts.  Maybe I should start a Dear Jane quilt too!

I write the fabric colors on the foundation paper and cut my fabric into
triangles and squares to make it easier to paper piece.

Oh my gosh, you should have seen me try to lay this block
out after getting each section done.... I had troubles getting the
flying geese going the right way, but I finally got it!
