..whew..got all my fabrics picked out , ironed, matched light n dark, marked ready to sew..that is the biggest part of this block!!..but oh boy I like it more and more!!

Sure like the ones Acre has done..

....you picked a winner this time for sure!!

 

[Acre of Blessings]

I have a total of 6 (12 1/2") blocks completed!!!! Ya!!!!! Sunrise Farms, you are definately right....the picking, ironing, matching, & cutting are the biggest time consumer ont his block but I believe this quilt is gonna be a "Timeless Treasure" for all that are participating int he swap.

Today I will be done completely with all twelve....all I have todo is to sew all the blocks together and I'll be done. I am goin to move around my sewing room to accomidate for a design wall.....thanks you Jesus....this way I can put all the blocks on the wall and take a pick of what the finished quilt will look like. The pic may be posted by tonight, not sure, but it will (Lord willing) be up by tomorrow.

Again....I can't stress it enough......please follow the layout pattern chart on the site the block is on.

Thanks you to all that are participating in this swap!!!!

Happy......
