That's funny you said that b/c i was playing around with the block and was thinking the same thing. Perhaps a two color quilt might work better for exactly the reason you stated.

The example with the jelly rolls you'd have the same fabrics throughout the quilt. Scrappy but still co-ordinated I guess. I can imagine for a swap using all black and white prints with a white or red and white prints with white as an example, then the whole quilt would have something in common even though it might have 90 different "black and white" prints. Does that make sense? Just a thought.....I'm still trying to visualize.

Great input, everyone. If we went with a 2-color theme, how about:
pink/green
red/pink (Valentines)
black/white/red (3 colors but you know what I mean). Good suggestion, Jaba.
any other suggestions?
I'm giving Batiks a break for awhile, Janice.
Would love to do a scrappy block with floral prints. Always open to suggestions.

I'll await your final decision and see if I can make it work. Don't want you to change your mind on my behalf at all, maybe I just need to see some samples. Let us know and we'll be off and running....

Jane mailed mine yesterday. You will get a day late, sorry. I hope you can wait for them. Also I think I forgot to put my name on the blocks. If it's too late, then just send back. It's my fault they got off late ( and that daggone printer ).
