Maid M, Have you made one of your own swap blocks yet?? the scrappy one?? I just loved doing that one....try one if you haven't....Yet...you may just want to make blocks all day..
I still can not decide what to make for Betty.... guess I have to look through all the blocks again.....
Y'all interested in doing a swap here??? or is everyone too busy with the yard???
My opinion is that : one can not have too many quilt blocks waiting on the sidelines..

Nothing in particular yet...just tossing it out there, if any one is interested we could "chat"...and decide what we want to do....
recipient picks colors they want...seamstress picks the block is always fun....
I have always wanted to do a "row" robin....you make the first row, send it to next person, they add a row, goes to next person...etc...till you get it back... you could choose colors, or theme..or just leave it to the next in line to pick something that goes with your row...... can add in some pieces of fabric when you send out your row to be included in the remaining rows....or not....
we could pick the block and the colors we want, like the 12 month swaps....
One of the round robin quilt events I was in was done with borders. You made a center block. Then the next person added a border and then the next another border. We had six people to a quilt so there were five borders plus a center. When the center is block is sent out the only directions are to try to keep to the colors. And fabrics left over from the center were sent with the quilt in case someone else wanted to use them in part of their round. This is the center I designed on this one and someone else added each border.
It is wall hanging size Maid M. Abot 40"X40". That was done back in 2004. I was truly a newbie then....I've learned so much over the last 8 years and I'm still just as passionate as when I started. I really love the medium of quilting...

I'm in FL!!!!! Got in Fri afternoon. Sat was the party & the weather was wonderful. Did get a couple passing storms yesteday but I was indoors when each came through. Now they are calling for sun, sun & more sun thru Thur - when I must go back north.
This AM I'm heading out to help my fried Yolie with some gardening chores. Hope to get back & cleaned up & out to visit a local quilt shop later this afternoon. Then tomorrow I'll be working in my garden all day. Wed I'm heading up to Amelia Island to visit with friends up there till I head home.
I was sitting here in my motel room last nite wishing I had something to work on. The one time I didn't bring any hand piecing work, I have a comfy chair & a good light!!!!
I do have my EQ loaded on this computer & do plan to finish laying out that crazy log cabin block for Thunder over the next few days.
Anyway, glad I figured out where everyone went!!!!
A place for those sweet interruptions, just to chat, share your day or for some support. Come on in and sit for a spell.
Mutual respect is expected from all.
guess I have to look through all the blocks again.....
