Got into the office today and there were my lovely blocks just waiting for me to look at them. Thank you all for the wonderful blocks. Then RW, wow, the extra surprise is awesome. Thank you so much for going thru all the work and effort. Thanks Mariposa as well. We know you are a pro and RW is right there with ya. How wonderful these are and will make Marlena's quilt just delightful. I did shop in Montana and found some nice fabric for filler and no sales tax plus cheaper than home. Was wonderful to shop the variety of stores in Montana.

No I haven't. Went to Billings and there is a new quilt shop there, you can shop online also, called Four Winds Quilting. She carries some really nice batiks and some contemporary fabric that I have not seen around here. Quilting Bee is close, but she has such a large selection, and the other quilt shops don't carry it. I am going to have to look for some football fabric here or another orange for the broncos quilt I have to make, yep a UFO, but needs done for neighbor who is leaving for the military overseas again, third time in three years. Big bummer.
I looked thru my blocks again to paruse the imagination of hwo to put these these together and loving the selection. I especially admire the pieced blocks. So glad I got some of those to go with the applique and embroidery ones. will post photo asap.

Well, with headache and all... here is my swap. (Not counting my own blocks)... Thank you to all who's blocks I got. I wanted to list all of you, but my head hurts so much. If you see your block, I appreciate you! They are in no peticular order I think I stacked them by size and then just did what I could to fit them in this space for a pic.
Hope to see others pics too! [ATTACH=CONFIG]378670[/ATTACH]

Mine are already on the wall being assembled into a quilt. My daughter was so excited to see them when she picked me up from work. She had to look thru them all while I went to get medicine for other daughter who caught that ugly cold/flu stuff. So when we got home, out came the design wall and up went the blocks. She picked and choose thru them all. Don't worry, they all will be going into the quilt one way or another because I love them all. She commented that it was really hard to arrange them to make them all work. RW, she just loved the extras you sent. What does not go on front will go on back so will end up a two sided quilt, I think with last years and this years blocks, I will get a queen sized quilt out of it. The fabric I found in Montana is just perfect with the colors I received in. The penguins are just so perfect!. i will post photo when done. Not much time this week and lots to get done. Have to hit that mark of completed ufos. Thanks for the help on this one.
