But, instead I went back to the Civil War Quilts blog and picked out North Star as a substitute. There is nothing I don't like about this block. The sharp contrast between the fabrics is perfect, and I'm pleased that I took the time to get the red pattern all going in the right direction.
And besides...it kinda looks like THIS:

I finished piecing Shirt Stripes Boxes together last night! I've been working away at the backing all week, along with the crumb blocks. I have a sneaking suspicion I don't have enough fabric for the back.
This is really annoying because I had enough shirt backs from all the shirts I used in the top to make the first quilt. This is going to take some math to figure out. I'm going to be really quite annoyed if I have to go and buy more blue and white striped shirts!

Nothing wrong with a little cheating. It is your quilt so you can choose to include or exclude what you like or don't like. The block looks great.
