This sounds like a lot of fun - if I can be that free minded. I'm pretty new to this and usually I need more direction, but you all made it sound like such fun and I love the blocks, so I'm gonna give it a try, got some catching up to do.
I'll PM you for a template.
Am I thinking right, if the template is 2 1/2", the block will be 12".
I love miniature, but know I could never do them myself.

If you could use a 1 1/2" template you can do these in miniature.
It really isn't that hard to do.

So, my first Rhonda block.--my week 1 block. I really enjoyed doing the block this way. Thought I'd practice before doing my Rhonda swap block and then on to week 2's block. The block looks better in person.

Thanks Rhonda for doing this.

Nice job, and great contrast. Wasn't it fun! Looks like you are ready for the swap!!

It looks pretty good in the pic!

My mis-cut pieces turned into two Christmas potholders. I don't even have a finished block to show for my efforts. But it did spur me on to do 3 more Christmas potholders with the scraps!

Your block is beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how the same pattern looks so different with just a change of color and placement and they all are great.

I didn't get on here till the second week and just got my fabric for the first block, so I'm a little behind. Had to have DH decide which of the 5 or so pieces would go where. I fussed over it for hours and he decided in 5 minutes or less. Now just waiting for the template to come in the mail and I'll be on the way.
