    What to do when you get a really challenging block?

    Some just don't want to work

    Magnolia,

    I am mailing your block tomorrow. I had a blast making from your green, brown and orange color choices. Hope school is going well.

    Sew Special,

    I am mailing your replacement block tomorrow. Please let me know if/when you get it. I threw in a small surprise for the wait. I made it a little different than the first block so if by some miracle you eventually get that block, you can add two to your quilt.

    Have a great week!

Honestly, I think that with this wonderful group, there won't be any "bad" blocks.

    However, fellow swappers, should the swap send a lemon, don't be upset, just make lemonade.
    Great save! Sure beats throwing the block away.

    All the blocks I have seen here and have gotten have been great.
    :-D
