BYCville Town Quilt Block Swap SIGNUPS CLOSED

[sewchick]

Ok so now I made an idiot of myself and posted in the wrong thread. I think this is the right thread. Have you heard from the other quilter? I have my stuff all ready to sew. Should have the blocks done no later than two weeks. Maybe one if I don't get any quilting jobs.

I am feeling pretty confident now that everyone on this list is making good progress toward a July 15th end date. Please keep regularly posting so our group progress will stay on track and let me know if you have any problems at all. Pm when you need my address and again, either send postage for a flat rate box or send a sase mailer when you send your blocks. Thank you all, you're the best!!! Aren't you getting excited about this quilt??!!!

I've a request..could you please show me picture of a store you would like. I can draft it out on graph paper. I have a couple of buildings but they are not country stores. No clue what a mercantile looks like. I even did a search on google for the Olsen's mercantile. Sigh.... I only need a good picture or a scan of an old postcard. Dh even put his 2 cents in and said the photos I found were not old country or even new. I dunno. The one I had did not pan out well once the block was made.

I really need to draft out a whole quilt pattern. It's fun getting out the graph paper and seeing what I can do. I have some good patterns I played around with earlier in the year.

Oh no, you pick..any store you want, feel free to do whimsy or not or pieced or not or applique..your choice totally!! Have fun!!

Ma, here is a link to a site that might help give you some inspirations for your pattern. Although they are postcards I think you might be able to draw from them to make your blocks.

The artist is very well respected in Australia, and has several series of postcards.

My blocks are coming along, slowly but surely.
