Day 41 of 2024

On Monday I found sixteen of these blocks. 

After talking to Little E, 

we determined these were her blocks from a group exchange. 

She gave them to me when she moved, 

not needing her quilting projects. 

I have been looking all week as I go through the studio

 to find my blocks from the same exchange. 

I finally found them today and have combined them here

 to make a bigger quilt than I had originally planned. 

I have made notes as to my thoughts

 on the new arrangement and how I intend to finish it. 

(exchange November 2009)

 

Day 35 of 2024

Fireball and I were talking about quilts tonight. 

I was mentioning the color scheme of one in particular that has yet to be finished 

and he couldn't picture which one I meant. 

So later I went to find it to show him and couldn't find it. 

I'll look again tomorrow. 

I did find this one though. 

It was a secret exchange in which I received the blocks 

and then put them together myself. 

I thought the hearts were appropriate for the month 

and thought you'd appreciate seeing it. 

Maybe I'll get a chance to show you more of it.

 

Day 65 of 2020

Remember about a week ago I exchanged Valentine blocks with my quilt group? 

Well, I have decided how I am going to set the blocks. 

I've selected, washed and pressed my fabric. 

The only thing is that the setting takes sixteen blocks

 and I will have fourteen from the exchange. 

So today I made two more blocks to go with the others. 

Day 56 of 2020

Our Valentine block exchange was really fun 

and we all came away with a lovely selection of blocks to finish as we wish. 

One more block will be coming soon. 

Can you guess which one is mine? 

It's the one at the bottom right.

Day 55 of 2020

I spent all day finishing up twelve special quilt blocks. 

I can't show them yet though. 

They are for a quilt block exchange that is happening tomorrow. 

I can't wait to see the blocks everyone else has made.

Day 35 of 2020

I've made a fabric decision. 

At first I planned to cut enough to make a sample block 

just to make sure it looks like I am imagining, 

but then I thought, oh heck, let's just cut enough for all the blocks. 

Day 232 of 2019

I am so lucky to be a part of a wonderful group of ladies who meet

 and tonight exchanged adorable Halloween blocks.  

I love them. 

Thanks, ladies.
