Stitch124, I like that lots better than the first layout! You could remove a row, then layout the blocks on your wall with space between them in order to get an idea how you will like a border.

Looking good!
When I want to audition a potential sashing I lay out the sashing fabric and then set the blocks on top at the approximate distance apart they would be with the sashing. Sometimes I change it several times, others it is just right the first time.

Jane - have you received my package, the post office says it was delivered. Just making sure.


I am ready to get the blocks back to put them together. I am thinking of using black for sashing around the blocks, just an 1-2 inches around them. I am thinking this will make the blocks pop nicely.

Off to work on the batiks swap now.

Creatfourpaws - Great news! My mail carrier stuffed your package in my mailbox so, yes, I have it! He usually leaves the packages at my doorstep. Must have been his day off & someone else was delivering the mail.

Whew!

I am glad you have them, I was getting worried when you hadn't mentioned receiving them.

I received a very good question on another thread re: '. . are the future swaps going to be with the same D4P pattern.'

I have ideas for ~~ 4 or 5 more color combo/themes for the D4P as long as there is interest in continuing with this particular block. I've also been thinking about doing another quilt block altogether; was thinking we could maybe choose something from Bonnie Hunter's free quilt patterns. Or maybe do a swap with the Bento Box? I found a pattern onlline - really cool w/ modified instructions. I have some other ideas too.


It really depends on what everyone else wants to do. Let me know your ideas on this. I'm game!

Doesn't matter to me Jane, I would like to know the pattern for the next couple of months. I can start working on them as time permits and have them done.

I checked the tracking on my package and it says it was delivered yesterday at 4:20p. Let me know if you did not get it.

jclinganrey

Yes, Nurse Bonnie, I received it and everything is finished! All swapped out and in the mail. What pretty quilt blocks, everyone.

Thanks for another great swap!
