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.

Judith- those hats are so darn cute!! I have never seen them done with the yoyos. Adorable
Red- I will watch for the Valentine swap then. I have used a great heart pattern in swaps before that I would use again. I know there are quite a few out there.

Ok here is my small block that will replace the log cabin Santa that I don't like. The background fabric has lots of silver glitter, it reflected in the flash and makes it look like snow or something. It was quite a challenge satin stitching around the little pieces of the black on the face and the beak! But I think they look ok. Now to decide on the last two sets.
