    Wow you girls are so good at making blocks! They are amazing! I love them all.

    I am hoping that you girls don't send all the small blocks (6 1/2 x 6 1/2) for every set. It makes it very hard on me to swap them out with a good mix of blocks. So, please consider that when making your blocks. If I do any more swaps, I am thinking of adding that into the rules.

    I am considering a valentine's swap. Anyone interested? I will let you know after the winter swap is over.

    Red- I would like to join the Valentine swap. Just let me know when it starts. Send me a pm, if I don't notice it posted.
    When I do my sets of blocks I only make one set of the small ones, the rest are bigger. I like the bigger sizes. I try to make a variety of shapes and sizes to get a good mix. So far I have a 12 1/2 by 12 1/2 (cardinal block), a 12 1/2 by 9 1/2( tree) and a 9 1/2 by 9 1/2 (snow globe). Still thinking on the last 3 sets. Hmm... I think I will look on line a bit for some ideas.

    My blocks, when I finish them and send them in, are 2 blocks 6 1/2 x 6 1/2. 1 block 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, 2 blocks 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 and 1 block 12 1/2 x 12 1/2. Is that good enough???

    lv2sew- WOW!!! those are fantastic! That machine embroidery just can't be beat. I love it.

    Red- when are you going to show off your reindeer. I am so excited for those. I love deer, my favorite to decorate with. I have a lodge look themed house and I have deer everywhere. Can't wait to see them.

    Sandy, 2 of my sets are 12 1/2". One is 6 1/2". And one will be 9 1/2". Past that, I haven't decided yet.

    Lv2sew, pretty blocks.

    Javin22, I like your avatar! Very pretty.

    Okay ladies, this next block is called Cozy Caps. I got the pattern out of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 6. I just adore hats. I hope you all will also. I will include the yoyo's in a separate bag.

    Oh my gosh! Girls .... These blocks are fabulous! I am in awe of your sweet talent and so generous with your time to make them! I am seeing some really special quilts from our blocks this year.
