".... I have seen the "Abomination of Desolation" It is even worse that I thought. The place is literally in ruins. The entire heart of the city is in ashes - only the outer edges remains...."

Have a wonderful week! Remember to post your progress on the Civil War Diary Quilt Group on Flickr. You can even check out what I've gotten done there too!
I will be working on 'Guerrilla Warfare' out of Rosemary's book next. Hope that you have a great weekend!
Happy quilting and perfect stitches to you!
Your fabric choices in this block are so pretty.
