I have thoroughly enjoyed this swap. It is amazing to see how even the least skilled among us have selected colors and patterns that come to life using just one focus fabric. I can see so much potential in all of the blocks I received. I know that my fabric selection was likely a stretch for some, but not everything I received was in my comfort zone, either! Stretching the creative brain is a good thing.
And now for some "housekeeping":
*Thanks to everyone who swapped with me.
*WineWoman, thanks for the tea you sent with my block! I enjoyed it last night (finally) while I was looking at my collection.
*For those of you who have not yet completed and returned my blocks, don't break an arm trying to get mine done. Finish it it good time and return; it will be loved and appreciated when it arrives.
*Daylily4u, please let me know if you need me to re-create another block for you. I have not heard if the Post Office has gotten their act together and delivered your block. I am happy to do so for you.
Finally, April (AND Izabella), thanks so much for bringing this swap to us. I have really enjoyed it. Izzy, I am so honored and blessed that I was the recipient of your first quilt block. It will always have a place of honor in my heart and in my home.
This swap has touched me in a lot of ways and I find myself truly blessed to have been a part of it with all of you.
TTFN,
Odessa

Odessa - I love your blocks! Thanks for sharing! Your fabric was really fun (although a bit challenging!)
I wanted to share the quilt my mom made with her blocks from the swap. Her fabric was from Laurel Burch's Fancy Felines line, so it was all cats. She and I made a few blocks so she could add one more row to the quilt. You can't really see the border or sashing fabric but it is black with little multi-colored flowers from the same fabric line. She is looking for backing fabric now.
Thanks to everyone for swapping! :)

What a lovely quilt! Your mom should be really proud of her piece; what a terrific memory to have!
I am still planning to put some of mine together for ALS lap quilts, but am still waiting for a few blocks. Don't want to plan until I have them all.
