I may have enough leaf appliques, that I could change up the border by adding just a medium toned brown and then the leaves on a vine on the border. I haven't done that before but could be done. Oh Oh Oh Oh, got it, embroidery an acorn wreath on the top and bottom borders with the vines going and leaves, then put four embroidery fall designs in the four corners, then just vines coming from a central large acorn applique. Oh my, mind is going going going and going, yeah, the creativity feels good, ah got my fix for the day. yes, ladies, boredom has overtaken me this beautiful Friday afternoon. Now I pray my body keeps up with my mind this weekend to get my work done so i can play with quilting.

Came up with another, how about basket quilt blocks. They can have flowers in them leaves, pieced blocks, any variety there is out there. those would be cute to have. I have not seen something like that in the time I have been on the board. They could be appliqued, pp, or just pieced.

I like the crazy patch idea too, and the kitchen one also. In the boom swap this year I did the vege's and fruit material, like the ones they do the jar quilts from. I really didn't want to cuddle with a basket of garlic so I decided to make table runners and placemats. I am in the process of doing that now and I really love them. Will probably have enough to make 3 sets of 8 plus a table runner. Went back down to the post office because delivery confirmation said it was expected delivery today. They lied! Not here so hopefully tomorrow, geez I'll be waking up at 3a.m.....twiddling my thumbs until 9 when they open on Saturday. Whatever you decide MsGrace, I'm in.....as long as you wait until after Xmas.....

They are nice. It may be a bit of challenge for a few which is always good to try new things. Also to add to that Donna, what about making it a floral traditional theme block so we could do some of the other designs on that site.

I do like the last idea from Lv2sew and if it includes floral traditional, swappers could choose some simpler blocks if they thought applique was a bit difficult. I also like crazy quilt blocks, although I do find them time consuming compared to other styles. Not that that matters,really. Lots of good ideas!

Tried to put my blocks into one composition but that did not work, so I'm making place mats. Which was my origonal plan! Thanks all. As for the next swap- I would keep it simple. I'd like spring theme crazy blocks.
