It's a beautiful block! I'll put you down for Carrie Nation then.

I signed up for this swap when it first opened but forgot to put the thread on my watch list so this is the first I've seen of the new blocks. They are all gorgeous and I can't wait to see what I get to go with the ones I got in the first swap.

My machine is in for R&R at the moment but as soon as she comes home we will be working away on the blocks for this swap. Depending on how it goes, I may have to sign up for 2 sets. We'll see.

I'm looking forward to this.

I've never been involved in a swap before, but I love batiks... so I had to give this one a try.

Guess what I'm doing this weekend... looking for fabrics!

Have a great weekend!

Bibliostone, the block looks like the Disappearing Four Patch to me. I made this block for the first Batik Swap. Your color choices are stunning. Belles
