15-20 years ago my mom and I both made blocks for a local guild monthly block drawing. I won the blocks. But there were only 3 total. The third one was not well done, in thin poly blend fabric. The colors of that one *sort of* go with my mom's block, and mine goes not at all with theirs. So I still have the 3 blocks in my UFOs. Sounds like your 26 blocks will get joined and quilted before mine, congrats. But I recently won a $200 Babylock Quilt Kit, so pretty lucky.

Lucky person. Send a photo when you get it together. A hint, if the blocks are not the same size (as sometimes happens when more than one person does blocks) try adding a border around each I usually add about 2 1/2" then square them all to the exact same size. Does this sound like I have once won blocks and almost all were different size. Did this and it worked out OK.
