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.
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

April,
Yes, I am still missing some blocks from this one, but as I am at work, I don't remember how many or from whom. I'll send you a PM later today (if the collander-brain-syndrome ["CBS"]) will allow me to remember to do it!

Alas, I have only squared up a handful of my blocks and I have started sewing some sashing onto some of them.
I am only missing one block. I will send you a PM, April.
Thanks! :)

I have made a friendship star block from everyone's leftover fabric plus some of the fabric I used with your fabric when I made your block. I want to write your name on your block then I will get a picture and post it. I'll be putting them on the back with some leftover blocks. I need 30 for the front the way I have it planned now so will have 6 for the back. Of course plans change until it is done!
:-D
