Thank you, Sharon. I haven't tried paper piecing yet. I'm intimidated about trying. I just learned triangles. lol I haven't done any applique either. See what I mean? :-( Kind of pathetic. huh lol Do you have your pattern picked out yet? When I signed up, I bought some fabric with hot air balloons--didn't consider it might be something different.

Brenda,
I have a great pieced pattern that is all squares and rectangles if you would like I would be more than happy to help you with a normal piecing hot air balloon :-)

LuvMore-Beautiful block!!

This sounds doable. I don't mind learning new things, but I don't have a lot of time and want to do nice blocks for everyone. Squares and triangles, I think I can handle, at least while I learn to applique. So, that is a big "yes, please." Thank you for being so kind and offering to help. I have never met so many people who are willing to help and care about others. Thank you all so very much. :-)

Well, I'm still figuring it out, but I found the perfect fabric, so am getting more excited about this swap. Now, what to do with all that hot air balloon fabric I bought! lol Guess I could use it as a backing for my squares, right?

I am nervous about making this block too. I'm gonna try, not gonna give up. I want and need to learn new ways to make blocks. My hubby gave me a compliment today. We went to Joann's and was looking at the Quilt Magazine's and I picked up one of the Easy Quilt magazine and he said, "Your better then that now you would think you would get bored doing the easy quilts". I thanked him and put it down. But he is right...I need to venture off.

Thank you hunny,
Mish
