Thanks, everyone! I made the patternfrom one of my daughter's flip-flops. I just traced around her flip-flop and cut it a little The back-ground fabric was given to me several years ago to make tablecloths for a "children's panning for gold" setup (long story-the man that ordered them is long gone), and I had YARDS of it. I always thought it was ugly, but when I started thinking about flip-flops, that material worked perfectly! That was about as "summery" as I could think of. They were very easy and fun to make!
I can send copies of my template along with the blocks for everyone.

oooohhhhhhh, I love the flip flops, I could see a whole quilt made with blocks like that!

you know.............
this might be a good pattern for a swap this summer

I just copied and cut out my template. I am planning to send one along with each of my blocks for all of you.


Now, I was thinking-I would like to do a swap in time for Christmas, of Snowmen. Would anyone be interested in participating? I am thinking of using whites/frosty blues/silver colors and you use whatever pattern of snowman you like. I think it would be cute to have a mix of applique',pieced, embroidered, etc. What do you all think: any suggestions?
