Hmmm, unless maybe I set my large applique block on point? Your block, in isolation like this at least, does look beautiful either way. I wasn't convinced about the red attacking the fort either. I like this block a lot though!Cheryl K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16895151046682701754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568910007381848260.post-68084542786375183572011-04-09T23:33:29.645-04:002011-04-09T23:33:29.645-04:00My husband's family might.

I grew up in SC from 10-18 years old, so Charleston has always been familiar to me. My husband is an AVID civil war fan.Sherryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289119953186417647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568910007381848260.post-23719732830254267282011-04-09T22:31:03.152-04:002011-04-09T22:31:03.152-04:00Thanks Sherrye.

Just my opinion, of course. It's beautiful either way.<br /><br />I was just at Fort Sumter in March for my Dad's birthday. Very interesting!Sherryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289119953186417647noreply@blogger.com
