:cry: :cry: I feel totally left out... :cry: :cry: Robert you didn't send ME anything when I joined. :lol: I have admired your work ever since I joined... There are so many talented people here, it's just amazing.

Here is the block I received from Sue (sustraley)..I couldn't believe it when I saw my swappee - she's in my ol' home town, where I grew up.. Small world, huh? Thanks Sue, really do like it.. Mine to you is on the sewing mc right now, will get it in the mail next week..

oksewnsew---glad you like it. This is only my second month in the swap-(hint, hint--Robert). Wanted to make sure I got it sent out quick. Love your board name too. Yes, isn't that ironic that we are from the same town? Have a great weekend!!

Beautiful Fall collection. I like the suggestions of the rich brown or burnt orange. If you're concerned about one color being overpowering, how about picking several different colors. You could surround each block with a complementary Fall color (like having its own mini-border), then sew them directly together like that or add a traditional sashing between the bordered blocks. If you bordered the blocks and cut them wonky, they might resemble the movement of falling leaves . . . .
