I'd like to trade same blocks so I can get a bigger variety.
Mine are not batiks but scraps and most have a bright yellow center.

The laundry was kind of cute even if I try my best to eliminate it from my vocabulary.

This was just a suggestion as a starting point. I bet there are a bunch of talented people who can come up with wonderful "NO SEW" swap patterns as well.

Those are really cool. If some one did one of those I'd be up for it

I don't think it's a no-go. There may not have been a recent vote on what the next block swaps should be. I really like your idea.

As much as I love Batiks, we already have a Batik swap going....so I vote for a Garden theme. We have so many beautiful florals out there, we could have a lot of fun with that.
