Sewbiz, looks like a good challenge.

MJP, will have to put my thinking cap on.

sewbizgirl, Inspired, uhm no..lol...But, I don't have one of them in my hands yet. A challenge , indeed. I think we are up for it.
mjp ~ Your fabric just scares the bejeebers out of me :-), No not the motif, It's the how am I ever going to make a decent block out of that!!
On the flip side...THANK YOU, with your fabric you have completely erased all worry and trepidation out of the fabric choosing from my stash!

This is probably not helpful but seriously this is all I can see when I look at that group of prints. This is a baby quilt I made a few years ago I have 4 babies coming this next year to make quilts for and I've been looking for a set of fabrics to maybe make it again and then bam there they are. hahaha [ATTACH=CONFIG]563451[/ATTACH]

like I said probably not helpful but's seriously all I can see

This is seriously fun.

sewbiz - the FQ really are pretty. Maybe not for everyone, but for a feminine room. Maybe decide on what color you would use for sashing and ask that we don't use it (maybe a brown?) I see a Dresden block in them.

Do not even think about being stressed about this fabric. Just have fun. You can always cut a strip out of your favorite figures and surround it with black and call it a day. I'll be happy with whatever you send.

LOL- not my cup of tea either - but that is what is great about this swap - it stretches us to look at a fabric we normally wouldn't and make it into a beautiful block. look at the back swaps and you will see a lot of OhMy fabrics that somehow we managed to turn into great quilts

Billi

As for me I have a fabric that i really like I got probably 2 years ago with no thought what to do with it I just really liked it. All I know is I want to make a couch quilt to cuddle under. The pattern has been beyond me so I am relying on the talents of you ladies to help me out.

I'm don't even have a color request, I don't even care if it's the primary focus of the block how's that for ladies I give you free rein get creative and have fun[ATTACH=CONFIG]563454[/ATTACH]

The colors are washed out in this but you get the idea

I'm an odd quilter in that I'm much better at FMQ, and raw edge applique than piecing. I use a lot of hand embroidery beads, and buttons in my quilts. I haven't done much piecing. I did the Craftsy 2012 BOM and that turned out pretty good. Anyone (3 month boom) who wants hand embroidery or beads on their blocks let me know. The beads would not be good on a bed quilt, only on a wall hanging. I design most of my own quilts and may try to design these blocks but they're going to have to be simple while I work on my skills. It says we can use applique so I may try some of that.

mjpEncinitas - What wonderful fabric! It will be so much fun to work with. Did you see what some in the 3 month TOPAZ boom did with the mardi gras masks? Fantastic!
Billi - I see fussy cuts in your cat on a couch fabric also. That is so cute. Love the baby quilt, too.
Sewbizgirl - This swap has opened my eyes to some different color schemes. Bet it will look beautiful when finished. Would you like us to try to make a baby block out of it in imitation of Billi?
