Civil War Quilt Blocks - Lilies

If you know your native wild flowers, then you have probably heard of the Carolina Lily or Lilium Michauxii. It's a beautiful native lily that grows in some of the southeast states. It is the state wildflower for North Carolina. It's one of my favorite native lilies.

I have searched the web for quilt blocks with lilies and came across a couple Carolina Lily blocks some dating back to the Civil War. Which just happens to be my favorite of fabrics. It also helps that my husband and I are suckers for anything that has historical value or a story behind it. So, I always start with some kind of picture or idea and make my own version of a block. That is currently what I'm working on. More soon. Maybe a pieced version and a paper piece version? Hmmm....the creative juices are flowing!!
