How 'bout Farmer's Wife. It is a sampler with 6 1/2" blocks. I'm doing mine out of CW repros.

Here is what I did with CW charm squares and no two fabrics are alike in it. It is just a simple uneven patch.

Where can I find the pattern for this block? Very nice, but looks hard

Ooo--Melissa--I've always loved that one of yours!

I made a scrappy CW, too. I didn't buy much of each fabric, but what you have would work for this, I bet. The pattern is on Bonnie Blue's site. She has amazing fabrics.

PS--I really had to think about what DJ was. My reply was going to be "What's a DJ?" but I finally figured it out--Dear Jane! Those are fun to look at--but I'll be plenty happy looing at everyone else's. :wink:
