My friendship blocks from the Heathcote Quilter girls...

Here is a photo of all my blocks I made for the Heathcote Quilting group.
There were 16 of us that participated. So here are 15 blocks that I made to show you. I haven't made the 16th one yet. That block is for me. We all had to write done a theme we wanted and a colour. So the list was made. Then with this list we had to choose a technique to make everyone's block in....
My technique was STAINED GLASS. It was a real challenge choosing everyone's themes and colours. There were Japanese, butterflies, free choice, Xmas, Autumn, houses, geometric and flowers... Look what I decided...

So here are the blocks I received.
My theme was baskets of flowers and red & white colours....
They are all supposed to be 8.5"....
RED and WHITE BASKETS OF FLOWERS
There are a lot of techniques. None of the members have participated in this type of swap before...
I am going to make my stained glass block about 20" with a basket on point and strips on the corners...
