Difficulty of block: moderate
Number of pieces: 19
Method used: hand piecing
I think Crossed Swords has become one of my top ten favourites. Originally the swords may have been appliqued. It's hard to tell for sure. I decided to try and piece it all. My concern was the four squares in the corners and stitching around the sharp curve. It was a little tricky and not as sharp a corner as it should be, but I can live with it.
One of my top ten favorites too! Absolutely!!
