Oh how fun! I also have this on my list to do. I want to make it in a two color quilt. This block is very easy and I am sure it won't take too long to make. But, you know the list has to be finished in the order I wrote it.... lol. The fabric and pattern is all there and waiting for me. I think my son who loves history will get a kick out of it.
You do know this was the piviotal battle that was called the Saratoga battle.
" Burgoyne surrendered on October 17, 1777. By the terms of the Convention of Saratoga, Burgoyne's depleted army, some 6,000 men, marched out of its camp "with the Honors of War" and stacked its weapons along the west bank of the Hudson River. Thus was gained one of the most decisive victories in American and world history."
It would make a great Quilt of Valor.
