Beautiful blocks
These are the blocks I received in my guild's mystery exchange. I chose that light marbled fabric because I knew it would be would be a challenge to work with, and I also threw in a metre of black. I got a huge variety of blocks with lots of pinwheels and hourglasses. Laura made me a liberated star (and I made her four. see post below) Everyone used the light as a background fabric and brought in other colours. I really like all of them. Cheryl (top left) took everyone's leftover triangles and made a liberated block, and Audrey (top, second from left) took the plunge and cut into her red hand dyed fabric for my block.
I'd been working with that same fabric in the Friday block party challenge over the winter, so I have four 12.5 inch blocks and 2 10 inch blocks using the same fabric, as well as bits and pieces left over. I'll put borders on the smaller blocks, make a few more, and I have a lovely throw-sized top.

I love the blocks. I really like the "touch" of black in each one.
You're well on your way then to a finished quilt! Perhaps it will be complete by the next meeting??
Some lovely sewing on these blocks
They all did a great job combining with the fabrics you gave them. its going to make a great quilt with lots of memories.
