The War Quilt Now Looking Very Civil

I've been busy working on the Civil War inspired quilt. The top is now done. I decided not to use the boarder pieces. I think I like this piece without the added boarder.

Quilt laid out on a twin bed


As you can see, my corners do not line up, which is one of the things I actually love about this quilt. I'm not good with perfection. I rather like things a little 'off the mark',

Love some of the seams being 'off the mark'


 I am now thinking about the backing and binding for the quilt. For the backing, I want to go with a vintage-looking deep red or deep blue fabric. For the binding, I am thinking of just a solid black binding.

Now on to the backing and binding

Do you have any war-inspired quilts? If so, please share in the comments section.
