Brenda, Just do you best and everyone will love you!

It time to start thinking about the next block swap to be done after the red/white/blue has been completed. Anyone interested in another swap? Suggestions are welcome.

--------------------------------------------
Norbana -- must you enable me by feeding my addiction? I'm assuming that by "after this swap is finished" you mean a swap due after the May 31 deadline of the rwb swap? You know I HAVE to be a part of anything you come up with (except those itty-bitty blocks I can't see), so keep us all posted with whatever you're thinking.

My ideas -- maybe a two-color swap, or all star patterns, or all scrappy 9-patches, or all pinwheels on a neutral background. Or a scrappy applique flower on a neutral background -- one of the layered flowers that you sew on a quarter inch inside edges and let the edges go all fringey and ravelly (are those really words?) around the edges.

Nancy, I like a bunch of you ideas!

Any other ideas out there???

I love your ideas of scrappy 9P's or all pinwheels! I really like the flower suggestion too. Great ideas!! Doing a swap with everyone making the same type of block would be different from the other swaps that have been done recently. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of sampler quilts, but did the choco/rasp and am doing this one because I like the color combos so much. I'd really love one that's like what Nancy's suggested - a scrappy of same/similar blocks.

Other ideas: 1930's prints or batiks.

FYI: for those of you newer to the board, in the past nine months or so, there have been block swaps in the following color schemes: black/white, blue/yellow, chocolate/raspberry, lavender/pink/green, now red/white/blue.

I did a schoolhouse block in these colors for my Jan. Quilting Bee partner. It's GREAT in these colors. Hope I get one of yours!!
:-D :-D

I would love to do this swap. But not sure what blocks are all taken?? I'm a beginner so nothing too hard, but would love to join in!! Am thinking of doing Churn Dash if no one else has claimed it

You can do any block you want. All you have to do is let them know how many sets you're signing up to do and I don't think that's carved in stone in case life happens.

After reading all the discussions on color, I want to see I am understanding this correctly, true red, navy blue, and pure white.......are they solids and/or prints that read the color??? Here is a sample of my block, not the actual one, just fabrics laying around, not sure of type of fabric so won't be using them.

I'm still a bit confused (my normal state of being). Can we use the duller colors? I have a bunch of what I call colonial red, white & blues. The white is more tan so I wanted to ask before I make 12 blocks.
