I love this block! I love it better in red, white and blue, but what you show today makes a very nice masculine quilt. I can see another formal garden design in it too.

  Laura,
  
  It is a fascinating block, much more complex than other blocks from that period. I have read about the history referenced in the block title, but I am more interested in the design itself, (in part because I am not American perhaps) … the block stands out because it is so different to any other block from that time or any time.
