    Churn dash can work. What size blocks are you looking for?

    I can adjust any block, but I am looking for approx 12" blocks of actual swimming objects like swim suits, sunglasses, mask and fins, etc. Probably paper pieced.

    Are you talking about applique'? If so, how about a raft with someone jumping off of it, or a tire tube? A rope swing going out over the water........a radio with a glass of iced tea next to it. Dolphins. Motorboat. Someone water skiing. Sea shells. Snorkel gear. Can't remember if you said any of these already. Once I get to the reply section, I cannot see the the original post. I hope this helps you.

    Here is a couple of swimsuits and flip flops if you need inspiration.

    If you have your own designs and just need a block to put them in, you could do a log cabin style but with a large center.
