    We love pictures. I got some great house block patterns in a book I'm looking forward to doing them.

    I love the idea of a neighborhood quilt - with an outhouse and lighthouse and stores! Sifting through my patterns and will come up with something so put me down too! Embroidery is ok - but I am more of traditional rather than funky/wonky

    I am getting confused! Are we doing 'funky' as in bright colors and fanciful or are we doing a regular town kind of thing?

    FYI
    These are some great blocks, but most of them are 10 inch blocks so they will have to be modified for our 3,6, 9, 12, inch block sizes.

    Yeah, I'm confused too. We're talking apples and oranges here. I wouldn't want to mix a contemporary "funky" with a country-styled schoolhouse.

    The houses I made are wonky, which fits with funky, but not with a traditional neighborhood or houses. I maybe am not in the right swap? I've only made 3 and love them so won't mind keeping them. The title of the swap didn't say traditional to me, which is why I made crazy houses. I promise my feelers won't get hurt if it should be more traditional!

    Most are doing funky there are enough in the swap that I can fulfill both. Most have said they want either. I marked who don't want funky so make what you want and have fun. I have kept track of who wants what so you will get what your heart desires.
