Lindy, I like the chain idea. It sounds nice. Go for it.
You are the only one doing those blocks so as long as the pattern is the same and fabrics blend with the rest it should be good.

Thank you foxflower but I think we are out of the gates already beyond the point of return and working on this. I am trusting it will all look good.

You would need to make the stars unfinished at 10.5", add the border pieces of 2.5" and then make 14.5" 49-patches with 2.5" squares. Does this make sense? Then you don't have to worry about setting triangles. You'd need 8 star blocks and 8 49-patch blocks. That's just and idea using your ideas that also works well with scrappy and white-on-white background. Let me know when to contribute for caroline's quilt. Sounds like Lindy's is covered. Good job ladies.

Hi,
I was not a part of this swap. I wanted to sign up but the timing wasn't right. I just read most of the posts and see you are needing a quilt. I just finished a quilt - modern style - that I would be willing to donate if you need it. It is primary red, yellow, orange, lime green, teal, gray. It is quilted on my domestic sewing machine in a meandering stitch. Let me know. The fabric is Half Moon Modern by Moda.

Hi Lauri,
That is so sweet of you.
I think there might possibly one more person that has not recieved a quilt. I am sure Jillaine, the swap coordinator, will contact you if this is the case. My story is just such, one of a donated quilt by some one not in the swap (ccarter) when my original swap partner dropped out. My quilt means so much to me and I use it daily.Thank you for offering. Like I wrote, Jillaine will probably contact you if it there is still another person.
Quilty hugs
