Thanks Red and NZquilter.
Well, one more block to go. It's always the hardest to pick out the very last block. And, I think I have found the right balance and placement of the blocks. I have my sashing strips and cornerstones all cut and ready to piece together. I used 13 of my 16 blocks from the swap. I kept just a couple to put in a quilt for my house.

Okay ladies, here's what I have so far. Two more rows to go and then the borders can be put on. I am using a gray/white marble with royal blue cornerstones. I toned down my usual self because my son-in-law and daughter don't like things as flashy as I do. That's okay. I still think it's coming out awesome. Ladies, your work is exceptional. I am not loosing any points to speak of.

Alright, last block was picked out and made. I went with an Airplane. Since that is his job in the military. He works on the planes. I tried to keep it simple so it wouldn't look kidish. The top is made, now onto the final borders. And, then I can get it sent off to the quilters.

Right now, it measure's 73 x 87. I am going to make it Queen size.
