Donna, your quilt looks so lovely! I love that you stayed with the black and whites....I wish I would have done that. I only have the top done and still need to sandwich and quilt it.

Dojo I love that you added the red. It makes the whole quilt.
And you also labeled every block!!
What a great momento :thumbup:

Sorry. :oops: :oops: I mixed two b&w's -- I had just looked at the link to (?)Ellen's quilt.

I ended up using a red in my, too, but it is a burgundy. My DH had suggest a brighter one like you have.....but of course, I had to do things my own way! Turns out that the burgundy seems too dark.

I like the red with the black & white AND that you've embroidered the names of the swappers on the blocks. Great memory of such a fun swap!

I was just trying to determine if I wanted to put all 24 blocks of mine in one quilt for hubby to use in his chair or not :D :D But that size might work -- I'll have to measure him when he's all laid back :lol: :lol: :lol: (Thanks!)

That is sooo funny sewjoyce!!LOL I love your finished product Donna...mine is tucked away...for later:)LOL Skeat
