Oh, man, I wish I had seen this earlier! I have a drawer full of CW fabrics and nothing to do with them. Dang!

LOL!
I'm the same way, I just love seeing everyone's blocks.
It's hard to resist.
I better get stitching.

Can't wait to see your pretty browns blocks. Mine ended up all having blues and golds and some a little red or green.

Yeah, for some reason my eyes smile when I see dark browns (or taupes ... yum) and sky blues. But I also have some other blue stars that aren't in the pic. Good thing they're all washed.

Looking forward to the swap. You ladies make lovely blocks!

OK, so here's a question: is a set a group of three different blocks or a group of four of the same blocks?

And another: are we pressing all the seams open or just the Double T?

Hey, this is fun!

I think some years ago there was a line called Vicksburg that had all browns, tans and blues. I still mean to make an all browns ansd blues quilt. I hope I get atleast one of your browns and blues blocks in the swap.

made up of-

4 blocks of Star of Virginia,
4 blocks of Shoo Fly,
4 of Double T.
