Change the biased corners to Mitered instead. I knew there was something wrong with "Biased" My head was playing tricks on me

Sure makes you feel great to get something finished. The size ended up being 90X108 I'll post pics on Flickr later on.
Looks really nice with the rounded corners.

Question for you gals, do you know of a good setting block that will help make my swap blocks fit together. The swap blocks were from the Boom 5 swap. They are lovely blocks, used one main color, but they do not work well together. They just yell at one another. I want them to play nice so thought maybe if I put in a block the same inbetween all of them, they would work well. I know I can put a solid in, but wanted it to have more movement than that. It is for my BIL.

Snowballs work well for alternate blocks and provide nice lattice/on-point like movement. It really depends on what type of block the other one is. A pic would help!

Okay folks. One more week to go before this swap closes, and I'm calling out for your assistance in finding at least ONE more person. We have an "odd girl out" situation-- i.e., an odd number of participants. I'm hoping to find a partner for a woman who'd love to have made for her a modern quilt design, especially if the fabric has cats on it! ;-)
In exchange she'll make for her swap partner pretty much any type of quilt design (except applique) from her very varied stash (and she's even willing to purchase fabric!). So please reach out to your quilting buddies and see if you can help us find one more person.

The swap remains open to any newcomers until December 15th. I just hope we always maintain an even number!

Enjoy!

Another update:

This new board software has something called Groups. They're starting to be used for swaps. Expect an invitation in your PM inbox. We'll be guinea pigs together! Thanks. -- Jillaine

Jillaine, if no one is found, I can do another swap with her. I do not mind. I have done some nice modern quilts. Let me know.

Also, thanks for pairing me up with Jillnjo. She is a great gal and I am going to have doing hers. Funny, I have it all figured out already, just have to finish a couple others before Christmas and then will get hers done. I am excited.

That is my wee dogs' name. He was found abandoned on the freeway at 8 weeks old. I work at a dogs home and took him in to foster him...and 6 years later he is still here..:-) He is the lovely wee thing in my avatar..

Cheer,
Julie
