    LOL Rachel. You are so right. I have several bigger quilts I am working on that need to be done by June but you might as well count me in for this swap as right now I am working on piecing and appliqueing blocks for it. I also designed 6 different blocks, several paper piecing. Not sure if I will get to make all but I can not seem to lay off. Way too much fun. Do you already need to know how many sets? So yes, go ahead and sign me up. I would think I will make 4-6 sets.

    Sounds like you want to join us, can I sign you up for our magical walk through the forest?

    Hi athenagwis - I can't resist your Magical Forest. I have been working on 3x6" gnomes today - one set.
    I hope to do more of something else but will let you know what develops. Are you flooded with mushrooms yet?
    Would love to be added in.
    Thanks.

    2 - dragons
    6 - leaning trees (all are different)
    6 - big mushrooms
    1 - quilted-looking tree (only it's embroidered)
    6 - striped trees
    1 - swirly tree
    2 - trees with birds, apple, and squirrel
    1 - birds with flowers
    1 - gnome mushroom house
    1 - fantasy butterfly
    5 - appliqued pine trees (photo shows 6, but somebody (can't imagine who! LOL!) goofed and sewed the tree on the wrong side of the background fabric! )
    1 - stack of unicorns


    6 sets (36 blocks) total.


    I need a nap now! LOL!

    Indeed WOW! Great job and so many done already. And then I thought I was doing good with 2 sets done.
    Thanks for posting. It helps me think of how to add to the blocks I am making. Mushrooms are on my menue next. I just washed the fabric and am drying it right now.

    I have been working on some mushroom houses and some crazy trees. They are appliques. They are coming out really cute. Not quite ready for pictures though. Maybe later today.
