I spent last week pulling fabrics and patterns for all the blocks. I thought that might be a good idea but ended up pretty overwhelming. I should have asked you experienced gals how you manage it! I did get started on 2 squares for Have4boys. Hope you like them.

Love your blocks, Duckling! They look perfect.
The way I handle the swap is to choose a baggie and open up only that one (usually). Then I pull coordinating fabrics and start looking for the right pattern. I just go one by one with my blocks.

thanks Duckling I love movement in a quilt block and I think the Dutchman has great movement and you can make it so many ways
