Fall colors block swap/Quilted Rooster Yahoo group *full*

Scrambled I know I am on the list I just didn't know there was a thread that I could come to on the BYC and catch all the good news. Glad to see you on here. Seems like we created a sewing queen out of you.

I know I just loved my hen from the May swap you just keep out doing yourself. I am glad to see it. If we keep busy enough then life doesn't pass us by, it can't catch up to us as we're too fast for it LOL.

That is a major miracle since I have always thought sewing would NEVER be my "thang"!!!!! I didn't realize quilting was crafting, always thought I would have to go out in public WEARING whatever I had sewn and I knew that would not be good!!!

It can be solids or prints. The only restrictions are they must be fall colors.

And I'm sooooo bad......according to hubby.
There are four packages

arriving this week from different fabric orders.....I've been under the weather (it's been raining) so I spent some long hours

online searching for the right fabrics for this block swap.....and ordered waaaaay to many quarters and 1/2 yard pieces.....simply could not resist!!! Ohhhh I am sooooo bad!!!

Do all the blocks have to be exactly the same fabric combination....or can I be creative within the color scheme?
If they all need to be from the same fabric selection that is okay.....but I'm dying to cut into some of these swatches!!!! Guess I'll have to make another quilt or two or three

You can use different fabrics in each block as long as they are all fall colors and you stick to your chosen block pattern.

I have found them at fabric store and Grocery store.

Do they have a different name or who makes them? Nobody at the stores here has heard of them.

I think these may be what she's talking about, Jody.

I made some amish diamonds today for the quilt block of the month swap. It was good practice.
