I'm thinking....... strippy designs and pinwheels I have down. I am almost done with the tee shirt quilt. I don't think I'll do another tee shirt quilt. That type of fabric is not fun. I used fusible stuff but still, I have done a whole lot of un-sewing.

When I am done, I am going to make myself a deal, If I can make 10 squares by the deadline to sign up, then I'll commit, then I'll know I can do it. I just don't want to send something I wouldn't want to use in my own quilt


Ohh ETA , as soon as I have the border sewn on, I'll post a pic of the tee quilt

YOu did notice that I moved the deadline back about a month right? YOu have until April now. Also.....Spring and Summer is all about pinwheels. I

pinwheel blocks!!! I will keep you signed in, o.k. YOu can do this. And, also, I understand about the t-shirt material.....we just won't go there

I'm here! I was playing on the Chicken block swap!

I've got background fabric. (I think) I'm trying to decide if I want to do just one color Iris or use my bag of solid scraps and make different colored Irises. What do you think?


Did you check out those top 2 links about appilque?



This is the pattern for the Iris

CM I can't get the links to show up for me. I can click on the chicken but then the page is blank. The link to the Iris does the same thing

I hope someone does just a solid 12 1/2" square of fabric.....I'd like to have one or two to embroider on in the center

Do you have Adobe Reader? http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO (uncheck the Google Taskbar)

Shoot me your email address. We'll see if I send you a file if you can open it.



Oh yeah, I've changed my mind, lol. I'm not doing the Iris. I'm doing an applique butterfly instead.

Yeah....I think it would be neat to have some blocks to break up the manoney of all the patterns. Chicknj is gonna do some with an embroidery design on them. I think that is going to be looking great
