    Got all three blocks put together but I deviated from the instructions a bit because my C fabric was too busy for the snowball corners, so I used my darkest E instead.

    dhanke I think using black for the snowball corners is perfect. It draws attention right into that block. Good move.

    DHANKE Thanks again, Diane, for helping me find this fabric. I like yours better, but here is what I made. Not sure why the bright colors look so pastel here. Guess its from the artificial light. I'm still working on my other two from different fabric sets.

    Lovely block and table runner! I am out of town until mid-week. Can't wait to put my runner together when I get home. Will post a pic when I do. Very fun mystery.

    Judy, so glad you enjoyed the snow. It is very rare to find snow here in Florida so I was happy to find it! And you figured out my board name!

    Jan that is beautiful, can't wait to see your other combos. Thank you so much for all your help on this swap.

    Judy no one is perfect, you do a wonderful mystery. I say this because it is my first, and I had a wonderful ride. Will catch many trains from now on.
