Create4paws -- I hope I get some of your blocks -- those are so pretty!!
Here's a pic of my blocks that I made so far....Still need to receive the swap blocks and add a few more. It's so busy looking. I'm a very symmetrical thinking person so that's why I thought about adding sashings between the blocks. Dragonfly Nana said either all black or white sashings.
What are you planning to do with your blocks?
I'm really creatively challenged! haha

Stitch124 - have you tried laying out your blocks with the darkest black in the same position on each block? That might help tone down the busyness a bit. It will change the secondary pattern, but you might like it better that way. Also when you have more blocks to work with you may find different combinations that "feel better".

Hi Mom--- thanks for the suggestion and Love the blocks you sent. I'll do the switcharoo on the blocks tonight and take another pic to post and get opinions again. Do we know when the return blocks will be going into the mail?

I checked my tracking number and you should have them today when you get home. I am praying that the post office is correct. They are in California at this time.

Ok - so I took a new pic of the quilt so far but moved the blocks as suggested. Thinking that black sashings and borders and quilting with variegated thead would look good on this. What do you think?
Create4paws -- I hope I get some of your blocks -- those are so pretty!!
Here's a pic of my blocks that I made so far....Still need to receive the swap blocks and add a few more. It's so busy looking. I'm a very symmetrical thinking person so that's why I thought about adding sashings between the blocks. Dragonfly Nana said either all black or white sashings.
What are you planning to do with your blocks?
I'm really creatively challenged! haha
