Civil War quilt - week 8

 It's Saturday, so that means it's Civil War block day.  Wow -- eight weeks into the year already -- time sure flies! 

This week's block is Cotton Boll, an easy one.  Barbara Brackman's article this week refers to the shortage of cotton fabric in the South during the Civil War.  Not that there's a shortage of fabric hereabouts :), but it made me think about the way our quilt fabric prices are rising.
