Absolutely, that is what makes quilts unique. Also by using 2 or more different blocks in a quilt you may come up with a very interesting pattern, that can be brought out by how you place your colors.

thanks for all the responses, my husband says i try to be too perfect and too pleasing.

In one of the guilds I'm in they did a strip exchange and made 9 patch blocks with the strips and then exchanged the blocks too. One of the ladies that was in the exchanged used her 9 patches with snowball blocks and it turned out just gorgeous! She used a cream on cream print for the center of the snowballs and a dark navy blue for the corners. It really pulled the scrappyness of the 9 patches together.

i wanted to post a couple of pics of the quilt top i made. sorry the pics not very good i made the king quilt top in my narrow motorhome while at the lake. thanks for all the info.

Wow!! I love the fabric, it's so cute. Perfect for the lake house. You must be really proud. It's so well done. Your work is great!! Thanks for posting the quilt top and showing us how it all came together.

Amma......now you've done it! We're all going to be sending you messages asking for a design of our proposed projects! Haha. Hey....maybe you could start a business :)

thank you, i think it turned out good. i still have some issues with the points on the pinwheel lining up but i love how it turned out.

Amma, you're a genius, and a generous genius too. I was going to suggest that she draw them out and make copies and play with them that way, but you went above and beyond! Thank you for your generosity. You inspire me!

I've been making really broad hints to family that I would like to have EQ7 for my birthday next month. We'll see if it works. :)
