Dutchman's Puzzle

Today’s block came from the Quilt Etc. free block-of-the-month class. They renamed it after this month’s novel, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer. But I did a little research and found its real name. I loved this book. I’ve read others about World War 2, of course: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman, and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It’s a venerable list, but the Guernsey book is the only one I’d care to read again. I often find books that inspire me to visit the places in which they’re set. I think this is the only one I’ve actually visited. We spent a day in Guernsey and discovered that, like much of Europe, they haven’t left the war behind. They probably never will.
