I was thinking of gradations of blue. It is going to be our raffle quilt and the color is blue for suicide awareness. the group is "out of the darkness", hence the black and white blocks and blue for the light. Think it works?
I think you're right, it is the hardest part. I like your blue idea, it will definitely work.

I am thinking to use a honey/gold color. I think it will look nice? :?:

I absolutely cannot wait to see everyone's versions when they are done! I made 2 sets. So, should a make a huge quilt with all the blocks or two smaller quilts with 12-13 blocks a piece?

you want to complicate matters colletta? the borders, sashing and binding were hard enough for me!

2 would be good if you have 2 kids who want matching throws or 2 for charity quilts. Or 1 if you want it to cover a bed.

Did you have an end use in mind?

I mailed 2 sets of blocks to you this afternoon, Colletta. PO says they should arrive in PA by Saturday. I enclosed 2 stamped envelopes to make it easier for you to send blocks back to me.

My two sets are in the mail - with the stamped return envelope (it took a little bit of explaining to the postal clerk to get it right - I hope)

colletta

i've finally finished all my previous obligations and i can devote this weekend to the black and white blocks.

is it ok if i change my block from the more time consuming Night and Day to something that can be put together quicker since the deadline is right around the corner?

i was thinking of doing a friendship block?
