I love all the blocks !!!What a difference fabric makes.... Not too many potholders this trip around....I did make some from the FWS Sampler...they are sitting in a drawer in the Calabash house...I looked and looked at North Carolina and it finally dawned on me that the center area of the pping was different from the photo in the book....I made mine like yours Jan...I think the block is balanced with the square in the middle...Now to finish sewing the sections...H.
