I'll chime in.... personally, I love your blocks and think they are fine. As you said, I think the major issue is contrast, and as long as there is enough of a difference between the light and dark, we have a winner I would be delighted to receive any of your blocks!

I was using this as a reference.

Even in the quilt above, IMHO, I think the block in the top left corner doesn't have enough light/dark contrast.

Whatever the group wants to do is fine with me.

Let me know and we will make a collective decision.

I am the new kid in the group, but I think good contrast is important.

OK. The collective group as spoken (sort of). Most importantly, please send what you've already made.

From this point forward, in the name of scrappiness, any light and any dark is fine as long as there is plenty of light/dark contrast is fine.

I certainly don't want the fact that someone doesn't have enough light fabrics keep them from participating. . Also, please send well hidden cash or $6.80 in stamps in your package. I will definitely put these additions in next month's posting.

Anything else - please let me know.

Definitely. Very important. Otherwise, we lose the pattern, right??

Thanks, Jane, and group! I love that 'contrast only' decision, rather than a certain color for the lights! I really like the posted example--- mostly because there isn't any white/off white/white-on-white in it! lol I'll try to chime in next month. If I forget to sign up, please someone send me a private message to remind me. :-) Hint, hint, Jane...

Jane thanks for the pic, that helps a lot. Though I didn't make mine with a contrast, they are mostly made with the light sides being in the creams to whites, I like the look in the pic. Did I read right that that this will be the same block monthly? If so than I definitely will use the pic as a guide. Mailing out weds.

She must be using a tablet, cause when I am on my tablet it doesn't allow me to utilize all the sites tools as on the pc. So to send a PM I have to go to pc. If someone knows how to pm via a tablet let me know. I was using Chrome. Don't know if different in another app.
