A friend made a gorgeous one as follows:
Corners of nine patch are bright fabrics. Center square is black. Middle blocks on edges are black and white prints.
automatically gives you the black small squares that dance across the quilt.

I want to thank you for your reply! I just noted you are from Switzerland.....that is a beautiful place.....I saw a show on tv...Lap Quilting....it was filmed in Switzerland and the shop showed this chick on a stick which was so adorable.....are you near or have you been to this quilt shop?
Would you be interested in swapping material? If you tell me what you would like we could do a fat quarter swap if you would be interested.....let me know! Warm regards!

I would love to swap. BUT first all the fabric I have is from your country and second the shipping costs sure spoil the whole fun!
I had a very unpleasant experience this morning: the postman rang the doorbell and asked for $39.60
The value of the envelope was written on it and said $40 which would have been tax free.
They opened it and found out the actual value ($77)and charged me with $8.90 tax. To control shipments costs $ 23 (as soon as the value is over $60) and they added a surcharge of $7.70 for opening it................
My only comfort about this is that if the pac had been labeled correctly I would have only saved the $7.70 and I got so many shipments that did not get controlled
:lol:
but thank for your offer anyway
