OM Goodness...I looked at the previous swaps pics and these quilts are so cute. The blocks are so creative. OK...I think I can do this without stressing or disappointing anyone. This will be a first for me and it sounds fun, I'm PMing now...not sure how many sets yet but you'll get the extra block for the "just in case".

Nice! 10 participants already! I can't wait to really start working on blocks once the Christmas hubbub is done.

Welcome to the swap Teen. I think we're going to have loads of fun.

I'm still chasing ideas around in my head. I need to finish with my Churns for the Churn Dash Swap first. Then I will concentrate on my summer blocks. I need to check what fabrics I still have. I'm sure I have something fun. And, I need to pull out my old swap blocks and see what I have and think about what will make a nice addition to my quilt and to yours.

You make the same 4 blocks per set. But, different fabrics can be used if you want to make it scrappy or just use what you have on hand.

I'll post a pic tomorrow after I bake a gazillion cookies. I should be able to get 2 more done tomorrow to finish up a set. I have some other ideas but still knocking around stuff in my head...

I have decided to do animals and insects for the swap. I know they are always with us, but, I found a couple I think will work for our swap done in summer style and colors. Sound good?

I love that idea! Summer and gardening and bugs all go hand-in-hand for me!
