Just waiting for the envelopes to arrive from USPS and then I will mail, will let you know Jane.
Linda, now you have me pondering what I'm going to do with these. Usually I make quilts that are at least Queen size and larger but it also might be nice to have a few smaller ones that aren't so big and heavy. I did 6 sets so if I'm figuring this right, set 6 across and 6 rows down, 2" borders between blocks and rows, I would end up with about a 60"x 60" quilt. I could always add another border or 2 around so that might just be a nice size to have. Good size to cuddle up with and cover the legs for the cold nights of winter. May do just that! Wow, I'll end up with a lot of quilts, but seems kids and grand kids always look for the new ones when they come home and out the door they go.

Here I go again, don't have the first 2, but I have lots of batiks. Batiks for my vote
#145
I've haven't made anything Asian or reproduction Civil War so I haven't really thought about those fabrics. They are nice choices though! I have a few batiks-- so, I'd vote for batiks. Hopefully with a true solid (not a print that reads as a solid). Maybe if all 4 squares were batiks, then their patterns might get lost in the shuffle...

I vote for batiks! It's my favorite type of fabric. Batiks! Batiks!!!!! Yes batiks !!!!!!!

Since Batiks seem to be the overwhelming choice, here is the second part of the vote. Please vote for:
* 2 different colors per block
* 1 batik paired with solid black
* 1 batik paired with solid white
Thanks!
