Thank you! I love seeing them where I can pick out the prints. I will try to do the same with mine. I just opened them today and what fun. One in particiular had pumpkins and scarecrows. I have a thing for scarecrows. They were my favorite Halloween decoration as a kid.
They were a hoot to receive. Shannon

I received my package yesterday and just unpacked them. Beautiful fabrics and blocks. Here they are in no particular order.

(Sorry for the larger file than usual but I wanted you to be able to see them.) Each row came from a different bag although Sewbizgirl did say they all might not belong to the person whose name is on the bag. But here goes, rows, top to bottom: Terriamn, IreneC, Libster, Moonrise, Sewbizgirl, Cheesehead, Givio and Shannon. Thank you to everyone.

Yes, I am so glad obrienwv suggested a 9-patch swap. Thank you, obrienwv!! 
We are visiting my in-laws again this weekend, planning on doing more house hunting. (We will be moving up in a month and are planning on buying our first home too!) Last weekend we did the same, but I missed my sewing. This time I took a baggy of nine patches and some fabric kits to make some Sister's Choice blocks. It was so relaxing to play with your pretty blocks after the long drive!

Hope you find a good house, NZ, and that move goes smoothly.
I was looking through a book by Kim Diehl and she had a quilt with checkerboarded 9 patched as the centers of some churn dashes. Hers were in primitive, Thimbleberries-type fabrics, but you can take the idea and use any fabric or size you want. It was a cute setting. Just another idea....

Sounds like some great ideas for some new swaps! I really like the churn dash with something in the middle idea. The middle could still be scrappy 9 patch or??.
Y'all need to go over to the Spring Churn Dash thread and check out Judith's finished quilt. It is stunning!

They look lovely, givio!! The green makes it look so fresh and summery. I'm really looking forward to seeing how yours develops, as I am planning on the same size finished too. It's so neat how different yours looks from mine, just by using different color for the points. That's what I love about quilts, one can start with the same base, in this case scrappy 9-patches, and make a totally unique quilt. I love to see all of our finished quilts in the same room together at the end!
Quick fix, tho.
