Jacquie- Those are just adorable!! I love your bookcase idea too. That is perfect!
I sure hope we get people to sign up. We can't really have a swap with 4 people. I would hole off making 20 blocks to see if we fill up.

I've made 6 blocks up to now and plan to wait...
Even if we only get a few more ladies sign up, could we even swap 2 per person? i.e if we get 8 ladies sign up we send 16 blocks?
Just an idea...

Jacquie, ya, I have been thinking what to do. I guess we will see how many sign up and go from there. We might be able to do two sets of different contents in our jars or something also, if we haven't all ready done our blocks. I have only done 8 jar blocks, so I could do another set out of something else.

Vinae, I think that's a great idea!!
Either 2 x jar blocks or 1 jar block and 1 ornament block for each name on the list... love it!!
That's got my vote!

Beverly, I found the picture on 'google images', so I don't have the pattern but I imagine all the blocks are 12.5 and just sashed with 'wood' effect sashing to make the bookcase... all the 'ornaments' I think are free object patterns you can easily find around the web or EQ7...
here is another smaller one...
