I haven't done a block swap in a long time. I've done a one on one swap but not a "many block" swap in probably years. I saw on Instagram back in the winter that a girl I knew was hosting a Low Volume/Plus block swap and having TONS of low volume fabrics I decided to join. We could send as many blocks as we wanted so I did about 22 and made a few for myself from my favorite fabrics. I have had them back for a few weeks now and have wanted to throw them up on the design wall since the day they came home but have resisted since I had other things on my plate...........Well, I decided on Monday that I HAD to see them all laid out....so off I went and threw them up!
Look at those blocks!!!!!!! And yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, they are all sewn together.
The quilt top measures 67-1/2 X 79-1/2. Each block was 11-3/4 if I remember correctly.
Look at the variety of low volume backgrounds...... I was in LV heaven last night while sewing them all together.....
I didn't have anything appropriate for the back so this morning I went out and found this "WORLD MAPS" fabric by Sue Schlabach by Windham Fabrics. It's going to look awesome with all the low volume fabrics! I picked up the stripe from the same line to use as binding. Now it's time to mail it off to my quilter!
And here's a little Olivia sighting..... Her aunt Sarah brought her that cute London onesie back from her vacation and I guess you can tell from the look on her face that she liked it :)

That Little Miss of yours is so adorable!
Love the quilt, Peggy and Olivia is adorable, even though she's bigger now since this post.
I am going nutty trying to locate some of this Windham World Maps black stripe on tonal creme fabric that you show here. Can you PLEASE PLEASE tell me where you got it so I can write or call them and have some yardage of it sent? I'm getting desperate now! Lynne in California
