Christmas Swap Blocks

The 11 blocks arrived today.  I was surprised to see each block was appliqued.  I sent a block using a pinwheel pattern.  The theme for my blocks was holly. So the main fabric for the block was holly.  I had no idea that the block was to be appliqued.  I feel just awful.  I guess my block could be the center block!  Lesson learned: ask for specifics.  Don't assume!
