ohhh pretty!
Hmmm... I wondered what the strategy was for this. I should look at some of the old posts from previous boomerang swaps!

You can't really see it in the photo but it's beautiful to me. :) The quilt shop lady that I always deal with said its an oriental fabric. I've never dealt with any of those before but just fell in love with it.

I was just thinking the blocks would look more like they belonged together if I used the one fabric. I'm sometimes kind of a matchy matchy person. :) It's hard for me to do scrappy even though I am trying to.

Well, I think I've changed my mind about my strategy after looking at the previous swap pics... I'm going to pick less fabrics and try for some uniformity and see what comes back.
Let me see how much of these I have...
I still like the brown/teal approach... just less of them.

Terribly hectic week for me and I forgot all about checking in on the individual threads. Sorry to be a Johnny Come Lately! Packing my fabric now (on break at work!) And will probably mail it out next week. Tomorrow is the best day becase I get to go pick up my daughter from her freshman year of college and bring her home!!! Yay for me, I missed her terribly. So I won't get to the post office. I am so excited to tell her about this swap. She has no intrest (yet) in learning to sew but seloves what I make her and she likes hearing about the swaps. I'll post when I send mine out and when I receive any. Robin

I too used just one fabric in both North and South. Wanted a unified look to the quilt. But will still have the scrpapy look I love, with all the varied patterns and fabrics added.

I like that idea better, Jami. In fact, my colors for the second group are blues and teals and chocolate.

I received my First F8 from PaintMeJudy in the mail today.
How exciting to be able to do my first grown up block!
It's all done and waiting for a ride to the PO.
I really enjoyed doing it. Hope it is what you have in mind.
