OK, I have a problem with row 5. The blocks came together without a hitch. The blocks went together into a row without a hitch. The row sewed to the others without a hitch. At this point I was real suspicious. ....and then I opened it.
I used fabric from my stash but I only had white (no white with black) and it sure is glaring. Imho it sticks out like a sore thumb. So how to salvage?
There are two options: I can use markers and stamps to artfully "blackify" the white to take it down a notch.
OR I can (with permission of course) split the seam between rows 2 and 3 and flip it so the purple is in the middle.
There may even be more options - Please any suggestions would be appreciated.

Take your time, don't worry about getting it out by the 15th. I have several projects going right now so won't get to it for awhile anyway.

Well, the replacement blocks/row gave me the usual trouble so I figured it must be the better choice. lol It looks sooo much better with the white/black patterned fabric. Glad I stuck to my guns and changed it. Sorry - no pic yet.

We do have a mailing date upon us...Yes, our final mailing date is THIS FRIDAY. It would be totally awesome to finish on time. Please let me know if there is a problem or if you will need a few extra days.
This has been a great swap. I look forward to doing another next year.
