I finally cleaned it up. The boyfriend said he didn't notice a difference.

I'll post pics here - what do you gals think?

I've been terrible at keeping up with pix of blocks received and saying thanks to those who made them. Sorry!!! Here's a beautiful bear paw from Poker Diva that I did as an extra.

Jetnica,

Those blocks on their way to me, are absolutely beautiful. I need to get started on yours. I need to go down to the sewing room, and get it organized a bit more, and get some of the projects organized, so I can see what I am doing.

Thanks

Kathy

I'm really sorry I had to drop out of this swap. I love it so much and the blocks are great. But most of you know I was care giver for my husband full time and little got done around our house. Right after Easter a really good clean up around here and it started yesterday with the kids doing the yard and cleaning up the yard where we had an ancient big old tree cut down. First time in a year that section really looks nice. Now for inside the house after Easter. The blocks that have been posted here are beautiful as well as the ones received...not put together yet but will put one together by Fall (I hope) Thank you all for being so kind and understanding thru this difficult time.

Sorry you had to drop out but it is understandable with all that has happened in the past few months. I know you'll have some difficult days when you start inside your home but take it just one day at a time. You don't have deadlines so don't put pressure on yourself. We're here for you if you need us. {{{ HUGS }}}

I finally layed out my blocks to see what I had. You just don't know till you lay them out how they will look and they are lookin good. Sorry I don't have a design wall. I had to lay them on the floor so I hope you can see them good enough.
