Union Generals 1861-1865 Free Quilt Pattern by Karen Witt
Union Generals 1861-1865 frames a central printed panel with fourteen Ohio Star blocks and gold setting triangles. Karen Witt designed this intermediate-level quilt with the Chamberlain collection by Nancy Gere, finishing at 59 by 76 inches. Narrow cranberry-striped borders surround the center panel, and a wider striped border encloses the completed top. The star blocks combine half-square triangles, flying-geese units and pieced centers before being arranged in diagonal rows around the panel.
