k, i've finally made my decision. I will be making the Pine Tree block from the Farmers' Wife. I recreated it on EQ7. If anyone knows how I can post a picture of the pattern, I'm more than willing to try. It doesn't look like the other Pine Tree block.

My blocks are finished except for putting my name on them. Can mail them soon (gotta wait on payday), but if I could go ahead and get the address, that'll be great. :)
Here are pics of some of them. The first three are Clown Patch and the other two are Passamaquoddy Trail.

These are 9 1/2" square blocks. Hope you like them. I bought some small black buttons that I can send along if you would like to use them for eyes or buttons. Please let me know.

I would like to join this swap, and I have read thru but...I want to make sure I am right, can I make a 12"X12" block and applique a snowman, winter scene and stitch it down, do 12 of them (for a set) and that would qualify, right? OR I could do perhaps a 9 patch block with "winter" colors that would measure 12"X12" and that would be ok too? This sounds like fun, please let me know!
