Now the fun begins trying to decide how to sash and place them in a new quilt.
The thing I first noticed was the great precision and technique used in all the blocks. They were really made well. Thanks to all the gals in Swap Group 1. Love the blocks.
I do think something like black would be a good neutral to sash them with but not black with white dots like my latest quilt. I think I'm going to snoop first on all the plans the other swappers are making on how to set the blocks. It will be fun to see first how everyone is making their quilts. This will make a great memory quilt.

What a fun swap! The blocks look so cute. It will be fun to see what everyone from the swap will do with them.
Looks like you received a nice variety of colors and designs. This quilt will turn out so cheerful!

Those are beautiful! You'll have fun finishing those off!
yayyy!!!
you got them!!!
i loved when i got mine.
such a happy package.
What a pretty group of blocks! I can't wait to see how you set them!
I can't wait to see how everyone puts their blocks together! I'm sure they'll all be so different.
It was such a treat to have you in the swap and you are right, each and every block was perfect, it was such fun, I am not sure what I am going to do with mine either!!
Oooh, what pretty blocks. I can't wait to see what you do with them! It DOES spark everyone's creativity to see what others are doing. That's one of the best things about blogging. (That and the encouragement.)
oh wow - what gorgeous blocks!!!
lol...your blocks ARE identical to mine! i'm thinking of a multi-color polka dot sashing with all the different colors of the blocks - what do you think?
What a fun swap! I love swaps!
Your blocks are beautiful!
Cheers,

They look very nice, so will it be a sampler quilt.
Those are wonderful. I'm sure you will come up with something fabulous to put them together.
Next time you are ready to join a swap, will you let me know? I always feel like I hear about them too late. I've not done one before and I'm now ready to jump in to the fun.
It looks like a fun swap! Now, you will have to make something from the blocks.

Great swap--I would like to do something like that sometime. Hope you have a great day. Julie
Boo hoo. Mine haven't arrived yet. I CAN'T wait to get them. Then the fun begins!
I think black would look smashing, Nanette. Hmmmm.

I can't wait to see how you combine these blocks. It's the hardest part for me. Lately, i have been thinking of using attic windows for some past unfinished BOM.

Play along if you like.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
I am looking forward to seeing what you do with these blocks--I love the rainbow of colors!
OOOOOO...what a great idea to have a quilt with rainbow colors of blocks. I can't wait to see how you decide to set6 them.
The blocks are all amazingly bright and colorful. Love them all!

Fun swap! I can't wait to get mine!
I'll be watching for what you make with your blocks, you are always so clever!
What about a multi-colored (rainbow of colors) print for the sashing?
I can not wait to see what you do here.
Great swap!
Love these blocks, too. How fun. Enjoy!
This was a fun swap. Your blocks looks great. It will be fun to see what everyone does with theirs.
That was a fun swap Nanette -- I love the bright, happy colors!
Oh, looks like I'm in the same group - the red pinwheel is mine! Now I am extra excited - they look wonderful.

Look at all the pretty colors!!! I love the orange bow-tie block! I have been thinking lately I need to follow a pattern and make a quilt (partly why I ordered a couple of your patterns :) I'd love to some day do a masterpiece quilt, so I thought I'd better start doing some more intricate quilting to help me accomplish that goal. Thanks for always being so inspirational!
