Friendship Block Exchange

I am participating the Friendship Block Exchange again this year.  This year, we have 20 participants.  I created the following blocks from which people to select their block:

Sue Hanson at Trackside Quilting selected the fabric we were to use somewhere in our block this time.  It is the blue leaf/tropical batik.  I used it as one of my one and a half inch horizontal lines in the center of the block.

We could select any block we wanted to create.  I used the Rectangle Window block from the New Classic Patch Work book by Yoko Saito.  The blocks in the book are about three and one quarter unfinished so I had to modify the pattern to get the unfinished size to twelve and a half inches.

I get to select the batik for the next round of Friendship Block Exchange.  My initial thought is an orange solid batik.  We are having the exchange party this Saturday so I suspect my selection may become modified when I hear the other member's opinions.
