I did a block swap with my quilt group, and these are the blocks I received, made into a wall hanging. I needed some red to make it pop a bit, and am pleased with the results. Just need to find the perfect place to hang it! The end of the hall way doesn't seem to give it enough room.

That's really nice, Judy. For a group of swap blocks, you ended up with a great balance of value. The red really draws you to the quilt, but I like how you kept the sashings narrow . . . it keeps the red from overpowering. Very pretty! :thumbup:

I think that is the first black and white quilt that I have liked - I love the simplicity and the red really pops it - very nice.

The red looks really good. I love black and white blocks.

I am going to show one of my boys the photo of your wall hanging -- I believe it will change his mind about quilts! He insists quilts are only for 'older women'. Once he sees yours I am confident he will rescind his words. :)

Like it a lot!

Your wall hanging is fantastic, love the black and white with the red.

Thank you for your compliment. But I did have a problem, in that my share of the swap was 13 blocks (45 participants making more than one block and 6 names were drawn to choose blocks.) Of the 13 blocks, 4 were too small. But I know that is a problem with swaps.
