The colors are not reading well but the two lower stacks are purples. It has been fun to pull fabrics and make up different batches. I feel like I'm doing "serial sevens" because each fat quarter and background I have cut up has produced about seven 9-patches.
Combos waiting in the wings...not sure about that Thimbleberries one on the left--it might be too bright for Civil War repros, but I do like the print a lot. See Julie's blog for the great variety of yummy blocks we swappers will enjoy at the end! I picked up the McCall's Quilting mag for September/October and there is a great pattern combining 9 patches, churn dash, and basket blocks with a star printed fabric that I just love, called Cocoa Baskets. I can see using some of my swap blocks for this! I also finished construction on all the Bowtie block pieces and will show that tomorrow on Design Wall Monday.
Erica liked the desserts best!

I love your nine patches - I hope one of your 'serial seven' finds it's way to me. LOL
Your daughter and MIL are beautiful.
I am like your daughter - I love desert. Alas, I am not as young nor beautiful as she is.
The nine patches look great. I like the purple.
Looks like a fun exchange you're working on. Your 9-patch piles look great.
I also spotted that quilt in the McCall's magazine. Yet another destined for my bucket list.

I love swaps. I did 5 nine patch blocks once . It took me 10 blocks to get the 5 right.
Right now that I've announced to the world I'm a 9 patch dunce , your blocksand colours look bee-yoo-tiful.
As do your daughter and MIL.
And the desserts....
Your MIL is fabulous at 91 and your daughter is gorgeous too.
That looks like a great swap to join in.
