Lav girl - love that chicky, too. Looks like she's catching up after a wild night!

I like doing the different size blocks!! Seems to me you are the only one that will do varying sizes!!! It is such a challenge! I am in for teacups, pigs, cows, a farm theme, anything so it long as it isn't all frilly!

I agree I love the varying sizes! I'm in too!! :) More ideas .... Fireworks, water, mountains, county fair, polka spots, funky neighborhood (houses), Enchanted forest, rabbits

Cheers!

Oooh, I never thought about a funky neighborhood. That would be cool! If Patti needs a break, I'd offer to host one like that.

You know ladies...I've really enjoyed hosting the swap!!! I just love the "funky" theme and I liked the varying sizes and the fact that a set is smaller...so much more manageable to me without boring me to death. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it!

I'm getting pounded with the IRR stuff right now and I'm not sure I can host another swap for a little while....so...anyone else want to step in??? Jen...the funky neighborhood does sound pretty cool.....I can just imagine what type of houses we could gather from this creative group! :lol: :lol:

Just got mine in the mail, so you should be getting a few visitors in a few days :thumbup:

Can't wait! I'll let you know when they fly on in!

I too liked the freedom of varying sizes and only committing sets of 6. That made this swap more fun and interesting for me than other swaps have been. Funky neighborhood would really fit well with these same guidelines. If there's enough interest, then after this swap is complete, I'd be happy to set up that one.

Honestly, I'm not interested in doing other animals right now. I know pigs were mentioned a while back. I'd leave that up to someone else to host. There seemed to be lots of interest there and if someone would like to take that on, I'm sure you'd get lots of participants too.

I wrote down my quilting to-do list a few days ago, and well, . . . I decided I shouldn't do any more new swaps until I finish some things up. But I'd make the exception for the funky neighborhood. I couldn't pass that one up! Any takers??

I would go for funky neighborhood! sounds like fun!

Not sure what you consider a funky neighborhood.

Any of these qualify?
