    I have been working at top speed to get some sort of layout together to share with you. Bear in mind I donated half my blocks when I thought K-Rolls blocks were lost. (Which, I am not fussed over. I really didn't mind. I still had plenty to play with. And, It all worked out in the end.) And, a couple of my half of the blocks I am saving for a different quilt.

    I will have also add embellishments after quilting. And, I think I'm going to do this one as a quilt as you go. A first for me.

    Thank you again ladies. You all made this a great swap. And, here is my tentative quilt top......

    The Block with the white center is going to be a hand embroidered Mermaid when it is finished. I just found the border fabric I wanted. And, all the coordinating DMC threads.

    I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

    After seeing the top posted here, I am thinking of maybe sashing each block. Probably with White on White and a Cream every other block so the background recedes and doesn't stand out too much. It would really make each block stand out on it's own. Which is a really good thought. What do yall think. Any suggestions???

    Looking great Judith and I think adding sashing would give the blocks their own space. Would love to see that mermaid when she gets done.
