Well, colour me officially intimidated. I love the sleigh ride and the snowmen are just so cute! I wanna, I wanna. Plus the pieced ornaments block - wow! I warned you when I signed up mine would be very simple. So before I go any further, thought I'd better run these samples by you. They are 9-1/2" and I think I'm going to change out the border on the pinwheel to red instead of green.

This is the center of a 12.5" block. I'll put an 8 pointed star around it. I'm trying to decide whether to use gold or red for the star. I've used so much gold that I'm tired of it so my judgement isn't the best right now. Suggestions, please?

Your blocks will make a nice compliment to others posted Belfry! I would recommend going with red for the eight point star block as you do have quite a bit of gold. Pretty, pretty!

Thanks. I didn't realise how much gold I used until I put the blocks side by side. I can switch the second block to a green center (same as what is on the pinwheel), if you think it might tone it down some? I've already made up the pieced corner blocks but haven't finished cutting out the others yet.

Belfry, I like it with Gold and red! it is cute just the way you posted it. And I think your blocks are awesome. I really think the best part of doing the swaps is the variety. All the different styles are really great!

Well I will try to whip out two more sets tomorrow so that I can send 6 sets. All the blocks are so adorable that I want one of each one. LOL. Well you could send me one of each one, I won't complain. What a cute quilt we will all have.
All of you doing the embroidery blocks........ok...I am hangin gmy head in shame.....I have owned a very expensive Bernina embroidery machine for about 6 years now and I have never used it. When I come back from down under I am going to play with that baby. You all have inspired me.
