To add to what Anna shared, each of the four same blocks needs to be made with the same fabrics...but you can vary the 3 different patterns. In other words, the Double T's can be with different fabrics than the Shoo Fly and Star of Virginia.

I hope I get atleast one of your browns and blues blocks in the swap.

OK, so that is just what I thought. I just wanted to be sure before I start cutting.

You guys rock!

OK Deb ... and fellow swappers. Aware of being just a little behind, I've chosen the fabrics for my three blocks. Please let me know if anything simply will not work.

The three with the grey stars on blue will be the Virginia Star while the brown and blue to the right will be the Shoo Fly block, and the brown and gold will be the Double T block. I'm not absolutely certain about the last combo and may switch the gold to a beige-y something. Or not. Depends on how it turns out.

I think these will probably all work.

You are not behind totosmom, we have a little time yet to get them there. I am working on mine also. I have the shoofly done, the pieces for the double T cut out and ready, then realized I am short for the Virginia Star so hopefully they still have the fabric or I am going to have to start over on them.

Your colors look good to me. From the photo, the one you say is gold actually looks tan/beige to me.

I am looking at the first one with the LARGE stars.....I am not so sure that is CW style....what do the rest of you think?

SheriR 09-13-2012 03:49 PM

I can see some stores selling it as CW. But you're the boss, deb!

I have tried to upload a picture of my fabric but the system keeps telling me the upload failed. I even cropped the picture a bit to make it smaller. Any suggestions?

Finally got the picture uploaded, but had to use my phone...But it worked!

Lovely fabrics Garnet. They go together very well, and I particularly like the tan one. Will that be the background to two different Ts?
