Pretty blocks and a fun challenge for your group. It's your quilt so you can change out that green unit since it doesn't go with your vision.

I belong to two guilds and both have done something similar--'Tinners', 'Bag Ladies'... I will admit that I was thoroughly disappointed in 2 out of the 4 that I participated in. It seemed that most everybody's rulers did not measure 12 1/2 inches the same way. I think the one that frustrated me the most was an absolutely beautifully constructed Pineapple block--that measured a perfect 12 inches--unfinished.

That being said, the colours in your current tin are lovely and I love the blocks you contributed. The circle of geese is a favourite of mine.

I bought a pattern through Etsy called "Circle of Geese". It came in 6 & 12" finished sizes. It's paper pieced and was very simple.
The other block was more complicated simply because it used small pieces and finished around a center that had to be partially sewn and then finished. The pattern is called Interlocking Seasons Quilt block and can be found here https://www.handmadiya.com/2022/06/i...ilt-block.html

Your blocks are beautiful. I have to agree with the other ladies, I’m not keen n the green but that’s a risk you take when you do one of theses kind of swaps. Yours are definitely keeper though 😆😆😆

Love the variety of blocks being made for your can boom.

I am so indecisive that an exchange like this would cause more anxiety than fun. I overthink.
Your blocks are fabulous. Green, not so much.

It's definitely a challenge not to overthink your contribution. I want to add blocks that both enhance the original fabric and coordinate with existing blocks. Going first was definitely the easiest!

What I am enjoying the most is trying out blocks that are too complicated for me to contemplate making an entire quilt from but fun if making just one. In most cases I test the pattern by making one with my own fabrics so in the end I'll have a bunch of orphan blocks. Hmm, just now thought that I should have been using fabric that coordinates rather than using fabrics similar to the colours in the tin can.
