Thank you all for the compliments. I wish I could have gotten the points perfect. I like the colors too. I got them at......... drum roll please... my local Wal-Mart!!!. Yes, I still have fabric at my Wal_Mart. Lucky me! I made a maple leaf quilt top out of these fabrics as well as a few more that was in the same line. I will post it when it is finished.

Does anyone know if we are we supposed to send 20 blocks or 22. I made 22. Thanks Vinae

Vinae, 20 is what you are supposed to send. You can save the other 2 for pillow shams, or pillows, or something like that to go with your quilt you are going to make! LOL!!!

Love your blocks Vinae! I just have a few more rows to quilt on DD's BFF's quilt, then the binding to put on and then I will start my blocks. I hope I can get them done in time. The wrists problems are slowing me down some, probably could have finished the quilting tonight if it hadn't been for that, but I will get them done ASAP.

Here is a sample of my Fall Block. I had to resize a pattern from 10 1/2" to 12 1/2". This one isn't perfect but I was able to use the mistakes to get the proper measurments. The next 20 should be great! I'm not sure how well the brown goes with the center batik but I wanted the brown to look like the trunk of an evergreen tree. What do you all think?
