Difficulty of block: easy
Number of pieces: 5
Method used: hand piecing, hand applique
By eliminating 7 pieces, I made Soldiers and Sailors Monument more like the original block. In the book, four extra seams were added to the border and the center also increased by four additional seams. I prefer the original way, as it doesn't look as choppy.

This has to be my favorite block yet. What on earth is that fabric?
I had to grab my book because I didn't recognize this block. Very well done!
Gorgeous block, Karen! And the fabrics match very well together. Wov!

I LOVE the fabrics in this one. That striped background is perfect.
I've missed out quite a few blocks. This is lovely. It must have been fun appliquéd it - Hugs Nat
Applique was definitely the way to go on this block. I had not visited this blog for a bit. Nice seeing all the newly finished blocks.
