QuilterMomma: I know what you mean about nice blocks, but they don't work well together! I'm thinking about setting your blocks on point and then the setting triangles could be a color that would draw the blocks together. You could also add a sashing strip between the blocks that were set on point. It's hard to make blocks look good touching each other when their points don't line up because of the different lines in each block! And to find a block that will unify all the ones you have can be tough for the same reason-they don't compliment each other because they have various sizes of sections which make it hard for them to match up well. I'm probably not making sense, but I'm in a boom swap, too, and the blocks are truly lovely and well made, but they don't blend like they would if one person had selected all the fabrics! So I need to figure out the same thing-good luck!
