I got all but 2 of my fabrics yesterday. I can't speak for the two I still need to purchase (I went with faulty #'s) but everything (so far) is from the Civil Wars Tribute fabric line. The cool thing for me is I have the CWT BOM (not finished - heck, not started) so this swap will blend nicely with that quilt (if I ever finish (or start) it).

It was very clever of Deb to only have us make 4 Double T blocks...that's entirely do-able. I am done with that set...now drumming my fingers waiting for the postman to bring me my new "old" fabrics! LOL! Course they have to be washed and then I can made my other 2 sets. This has been super fun so far.

Yeah we "twisted her (jillnjo's) arm"--er I mean convinced her it would be a good thing. Welcome.
This morning have been putting the Double T's together. I have my setting already planned and plan on adding a couple of other blocks to round out the design. Oh and those leftover HST's from the DT flying geese--what are you going to do with them?

G.- Yes, you all are to blame!! I have 2 other swaps I've sent out my blocks for already and I fear my problem will become getting quilts made out of the blocks I collect! I like the suspense of seeing the blocks everyone makes and then getting them for myself! I like to "touch" fabrics, you know!

rwquilts-- I was thinking something like this[ATTACH=CONFIG]351951[/ATTACH].
Shoofly corners, F ship star, Churn dash corners, broken dishes, or how about using making this spool block with scrappy string threads in the middle. They would finish at 3 1/4" if the HST are 1 3/4 cut.[ATTACH=CONFIG]351952[/ATTACH]
Oh have I just created another project!
