....and that is why I stopped participating in swaps. My solution was to cut the blocks into circles and inset them. That way they were all the same size and the quilt came out beautiful. This is an example.

I'd vote for adding sashing. :)

I would border each block and then trim all to one size. I chose 2 different colours to border in my Sylvia blocks and it worked.... these were my own blocks NOT a swap and were all supposed to be 6" finished [ATTACH=CONFIG]514340[/ATTACH]

When I received unwanted blocks from the last guild I belonged to, I would set them on point using oversized triangles and then trim those blocks down to a the same size. Neat idea thimblebug6000.

Do you have a photo of the finished quilt to share with us? |
I forgot to mention that these are Disappearing 9-Patch blocks.

It looks like thimblebug and ManiacQuilter2 have two different suggestions that will work wonderfully. I am going to keep these ideas in mind for the future.

I would check my library for a copy of "Setting Solutions" by Sharyn Craig.
The whole book is dedicated to setting orphan blocks and blocks from swaps that are not exactly all the same size and/or color. You can get also a used copy on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157...6906198&sr=1-1 |

Perfect timing! I have some swap blocks I need to put together and I am going to consider the solutions mentioned. Thanks!
