There are 121 blocks featured in the book and they are a little easier to make than the blocks featured in the diary book. You can use the blocks interchangeably in your quilt. Every two page spread consists of a quilt block on one page and excerpts of a letter from a soldier to a woman. Letters from soldiers on both sides of the conflict are featured.
This is a fabulous history book. I was surprised at how positive the soldiers felt about the fighting. They truly believed in what they were doing. It is an easy read because you can read a few pages, put it down and not have to remember where you left off. The blocks are colored which suggests a colorway to follow if you are going to make the quilt.
As in her earlier work, Ms. Youngs did a great job of researching the history of the war. (
