Pretty... I am so excited!!!

I have been debating doing another block. Another few hours and I will have these 12 done. Have something in mind.. but I need to experiment with it a bit first

Changed my mind. I was having trouble getting the Ohio Star together to my satisfaction, so I've switched to Carrie Nation, same fabrics. I'm feeling block-challenged today! I feel like I've made every mistake it's possible to make!

that is absolutely gorgeous. be so glad when i get good enough to make a block that beautiful. i got my fabric today too and done washed & ironed it and got it cut out, just doing a 9-patch, that's as far as i can do - but it's really pretty fabric, i'll post a block when i get one done.

Hi Collette,

How many people are in the swap so far? I am doing a block named flagstones from Block Base.

Last count was 50, wasn't it? I'm grinning here thinking about how you're going to handle at least 600 blocks and especially how you're going to lay them out to divvy up 12 at a time.

Are you going to lay each set of 12 in a stack and then just take one from each of 12 stacks, then the next 12, etc? Maybe you'll take one from every other stack.

Oh, that's not including the one that each person gets back. So, if you make 50 stacks, one of each person's own block (maybe with their return envelope) then make 50 MORE stacks of the other 11...

Inquiring minds want to know. Who knows, one of us might be doing this someday.

Sure hope she has some good friends close by to help out! So great of you to take this all on.

Everyone's blocks are looking sharp! I went the LQS last night and fabric is bought!:)Will be hitting my block work by this weekend. Have to say I have been pouting since I did not do our LQS's BOM of the black and whites...and, now am so glad I didn't do it!:)I'll have 12 here soon instead:)I will be prewashing the fabric tonight....(glad I read Marty's post or I would have missed that!Yikes!)Skeat

Pam, your block looks great! I've gotten 6 done so far...ordered more fabs yesterday. I'm just working with Fats...same block, just a few done in the same fabrics though. Its fun...I may actually get 2 sets done. I'm already thinking about my setting and quilt for the blocks. :lol: (And to think I have 2 bags in my room already- 1 with the Blue/white blocks and 1 with the Challenge blocks that I have not done a thing with yet.. :roll: )

Pam, I thought about the same thing last night, how in the world is Colletta gonna divy this all up, she will have quite a job, won't she? I bet she didn't expect for so many people to join up, this is my first time to do this so i'm excited about it.
