jbtaz36 log cabin Civil War quilt - This was said to have been made during the Civil War by my great grandmother who lived in Iowa. The back is one piece of silk and might have been added later as it looks like it was machine stitched around the edges with tiny stitches. It was used and is torn in several places.
