Been having fun playing!
Thank you ladies for such lovely blocks to play with. Haven't started playing with the strips yet, but they are very pretty.
And an extra big THANK YOU to tracing for hosting!!! You certainly deserve a rest. Between travel, moving and hosting I'm sure you're exhausted.
Think I'm going to follow Cindi's example and make two smaller quilts as well. One primarily aquas and purples and the other more earth tones. Probably will add a couple blocks to each and make them 4 blocks x 5 blocks. Might put some of those strips to good use on that.
Better go take pictures of my preview layouts so I can remember initial plan - always subject to change a couple gazillion times. Lol!

Got mine today but haven't been able to go through them yet. I'm sure they are beautiful and I want to thank all of you right now for doing the swap and making blocks for all of us to share. Had doctors appts. this morning, had to do tomatoes, zucchini and green peppers this afternoon and just finished dinner. It looks like I may be headed to some serious back surgery so am trying to stay caught up on the garden stuff or it will be gone and nothing saved. Will certainly go through them tomorrow and try to start planning my quilt or quilts. Thank you all again.

Thank you for posting. It looks great! I am still hanging on to mine for a special bigger project as all the blocks played well with each other.

That came out great!
I'm going to make mine into two separate lap quilts by adding a couple blocks to each color combo. Don't really need a big one, but plenty of uses for smaller ones, plus I can complete them myself - eventually.
