Anyone have any ideas and layouts on design walls to be shared? I'm thinking I'll do the same layout design that I did my Fall quilt in, so the two kind of match.
Judith, the Patriotic swap sounds great! I'll be sitting on the fence watching and cheering you all on. Unfortunately I can't take on another swap at the moment, but maybe next time.
Hopefully I will have some pictures soon! And would love to see other's ideas. I looked at the quilts put together from last year and decided on white sashing with colorful little squares in the intersections (not sure if different colors or all the same). This past week I worked on making all the squares 12.5 inches. And today I picked out the two border fabrics. It's so hard trying to "calm" down the blocks and letting them shine at the same time. I loved loved Judith's block design for this quilt but am going more simple for sanity's sake on mine. Originally I was going with a smaller wall quilt but liked the blocks so much it has grown into a lap quilt! I'll probably post some pictures soon and get all your opinions on the intersection colors!
