Ok, Im in. I just took a class/workshop with Lynn Roddy Brown and she talked about block swaps. This one looks like a GOOD one ! Going on a shop hop in a few weeks, will HAVE to add CW fabrics to my list (sigh, lol). Also means I'll have to add a shop to the list . Quilted Owl in New Orleans

Oh the more the merrier. Just think of all the lovely blocks you will get to see, Deb!
Great fabrics, FrustratedQ--escpecially like how the center gold adds a spot of brightness to the grouping. Lots to choose from.
Thanks for the kind words. Think I might make a sampler from the LOver HST--could easily get 20 blocks in a 4 x 5 setting. OBTW those blocks finish 3 3/4 not 3 1/4.

We are up to 18 already! Yes, I will have LOTS of blocks to play with. That is one reason why I want each 4 block set in its own baggie - it will make it easier for me to swap in groups.

I finished my shoo fly blocks almost except for 1 4 1/2" square of light ran short. Trip to LQS if not they have it online. What I found is I had to cut the HST at 5" then sew them like it says and cut apart and square up to 4 1/2" in order to have good square HST and get my finished block to 12 1/2". So that is where I ran short. But that is okay that is why make 1 and if not right you can tweak it.
