Fall Quilt Block Swap due October 15th

[majack]

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! The English blocks have just been sent.. I plan never to do 16 of those blocks ever again. Too many points to match!

Okay here they are first


The teaser blocks, these were the to small ones that I am not sending in.






Here are the blocks that are the right size.

I stacked like blocks together that is why there isn't 16 blocks showing.

I'm going to get mine sent today, or at least in the mailing envelope even if I don't get a chance to make it to the post office. I need an address to send them too. Also do we label them in any way?

Mine are done!!! Thanks to Google I managed to repair my machine all by myself. Took out all threads, put in new needle then ran a knotted thread back and forth across both sides of the tension wheels. Retreaded top and bobbin and voila! It was working again. Woohoo. I have my 16 in a box but need a ship to address please.

You guys have been so much more creative than I with this block. Almost embarrassed to share them.

Also, I rip my lengths for a perfect 3.5 inches but that means lots is strings....you are forewarned. And I didn't trim the block so that there is as much fabric as possible for fitting them all together. Not as neat as they could be, but sometimes every little bit helps.

Thanks for letting me join in!

I dreamed i was in a Schoolhouse Rock show. it was math. I fell into a swimming pool of evil triangles.
Really, really want to move on from this block.

:yiipchickGood news folks! I decided to start the blocks for the next swap, the November swap. It took me so long to do the triangle block, I'm edetermined to get the next one done quickly. Even though I finished the triangle blocks yesterday I started the blocks for November today. The blocks for the November swap will take hours not weeks. I will be able to finish them tomorrow. I'm just telling you this to give you good heart. Keep going girls! e
