After Christmas I would like to do a block swap. Update first post

[QuailQT]

Thanks everyone! I feel so much better about this and will quit stalling (so much) and get to work.

You're all wonderful!

QuailQT, I looked at your fabric and love them. I am by no means experienced. If it wasn't for patterns and reading them over and over I couldn't do them. And Acre is right, thats what makes a quilt, the mistakes. I’m hoping to have this quilt done and on my bed by June and passing it on to one of my grandchildren. Which ever one likes blue. No one is perfect, especially me.
So as Alex Anderson would say, have at it. Have fun and relax.

Ginger, my blue and beige blocks are on their way to you. Keep an eye on the mail...

Oh, I'm experienced too.........experienced at making mistakes.

I'm certain we'll all like ALL the blocks and the quilt they create. Can't wait.

...thank God for seam rippers!!

Hoping to get going on the blocks this weekend.

Am I the only one doing all half triangles instead of the flying geese?? Tell me now before I make a bunch!

I'm going to try it that way too as soon as I get my sewing machine working right. Was working fine, then I ran out of thread and now the tension isn't right after refilling my bobbin. One thing after another. It's a different sewing machine that I'm not quite used to yet.

I know what you mean. I have 6 machines and only one of them is a good one. The others I got at an auction for $2.00. Oops one was my MIL's and that one weights about 50 pounds. I like to do the flying geese but you do can do it the way you like. I think it looks the same.


TammyTX, I just used my seam rippers today.

Today I Received, cluckyChikn and Acre's blocks. Thanks Acre for the surprise's. The candy is great.


LADY'S these blocks are beautiful. You all are going to be so happy when you get them.

I'm not going to show them in case someone didn't show theirs before on here. It's going to be a surprise.


Anyone want to do another swap with a different color?

I would love to-but I will have to get my other blocks finished first!

...just wanted GB to know I'm getting there...

That bottom point looks particularly dull but I think it's an ironing issue:
