LOVE them!!! So many beautiful combinations here, and I love the variety. A few other swappers had complaints about the sizing of the blocks, but I was fortunate in that only a couple blocks were more than 1/8" off. I don't think I'll have any problems using all of them.
Feeling super-happy after getting my first set of blocks, I went ahead and signed up for another month of the swap. Here are the nine-patches I've made for July:
I think my favorites in this batch are the sienna/tan ones. But I like them all.
As I've been making blocks for the swap, I've kept one of each color-combination for myself (because I thought some of them were so pretty, I had to keep one!). So in the end, I'll have 48 swap blocks plus 12 of my own blocks. I'm not sure exactly how that will work out yet in a quilt, but I figure I won't have all of the blocks until August. So I have some time to figure it out.
Yay, scrappy nine-patches!!!
Robin your nine patches look great..I too have done 9p swaps and if you would like some ideas you can visit my blog and see some of the quilt designs I came up with for my patches
ReplyDeleteI had most come out even but even still the layout accounts for that.
I can't wait to see what you design with yours they are fun to work with and there are many creative designs
How fun!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to join this one but by the time I decided I would, it closed. LOL!!
Next time!
Great blocks you got. Sometimes people sew and cut differently but I am sure you will come up with a setting that all of them can be used.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty!
