State Block Swap

[katsdar]

Now I have mine in the mail, do I dare ask if we are planning another swap or are we waiting till January? I still did not put some of the swap blocks together while with others I am adding blocks and some I am quilting up.

I will put together a swap in the next few weeks to be due after the first of the year. I will put your orphan blocks in with your swap blocks. I have a couple more.

Lets get some swap suggestions along with colors, we have done quite a few swaps, is there a color scheme that anyone would like to do?

I get so many compliments on the colors of the manly 4 patch chain top I made from the swap on this board.

I do not think people see it as manly colors. they just really like the colors as do I.

So I would be all for "manly" scrappy colors again.

That is so pretty, we did and always do a wonderful job. Manly colors I think would be good.

I think of these as home decor colors. Reminds me of https://www.jinnybeyer.com/ax_comme...lectionID=682A40BD-A1FB-3DEB-C9366E671ADABDD3

I have no idea on patterns but maybe we should revisit some of the blocks we looked at before? There were some very nice ones that might not have made the cut before but might be good to consider now. I do like how we have stayed on the easy quilt block end. Also maybe someone knows a Missouri Star Quilt Comp. video that has a great pattern? It is always nice to have the video and Jenny's quilt patterns seem very doable and fun.

I like your ideas Anna6.
What about manly colors, done in Jenny's Lovely Leaves pattern in a 12.5" block, then we could add solids between the leaf blocks?

I am game for anything.

I have the books from MSQC let me look through them and see what jumps out, her new book arrived and I have not really had time to go through it.

Is it this one? Would one leaf be considered a block or 4 placed with the stems together would be one block?

That is the one Anna, I thought one large block ,then we could do our own solid in between if we exchange 10 =20 121/2" blocks
