Or it could be a theme.... like chocolate and raspberry, or 1970s hippie style, or the sea, or flowers.

So many ideas! ;-)

I would love to do something with purples/lavenders.

I lived through the hippie days (as in "I was one") and wouldn't mind "far out" :P colors, either.

How about blocks from Sylvia's Bridal Sampler from the Elm Creek Quilts book series?

How about an alphabet quilt? Each person makes 26 blocks of their letter. (For example, if I signed up for the letter "A," I would paper piece, embroider, or applique an "A" then add fun fabric. An apple print, for example.) I think people could be really creative. There would have to be some leway for some letters. (X?) But those "odd" letters could just have colorful fabric. Oooh, I'm excited! I think I may organize this one myself if anyone is interested- but it wouldn't be due until wayyyyy after Christmas. (26 blocks.) Due in February? Anyone?

Blueribbontoes, that is a really cute idea.

What is everyone's opinion on the next block swap? The DJ Christmas swap ends October 31st and people are probably busy with Christmas gifts. So, does everyone want to do another block swap directly after the Blue and Yellow ends or wait a few months?

I'm all for another swap. When is the question? After that is decided, I'll pick 2 or three combos off our list and we can decide what the theme will be.

Please give your opinion.
