: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..

It's actually a bit more than a half block, Florence and the corners maybe were about 60 degreeea? Dont remember, think I worked it out as I came to the corners.

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 . . . .
