My assumption is all the piecing is done but the four edges are raw edges? I posted another comment yesterday indicating I would be committing two blocks but I don't see it posted. Hoped it didn't get lost. If it did, I will repeat 2 blocks - one Union and one Confederate. Union is Variable Star and Confederate is Mississippi flag. I just finished the first one -- having so much FUN!!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518797858366448475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973465624631721119.post-15566689459478844532011-03-01T14:52:43.218-08:002011-03-01T14:52:43.218-08:00I will commit to making two blocks.
