<br />
I'll post pictures and whose block it is, but I'll wait to post individual instructions (unless that person's is a repeat of a previous year, which we seem to have a number of this time).<br />

Dorothy's block ... New instructions, approved by Dorothy, per Louise: <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 16px;">I put some of Dorothy's half squares together and came up with tips and different borders. I did not trim the squares. I used a pin to hold the seam point in place for 2 pairs and did a scant 1/4 in seam; pressed the seam open and did the final seam again holding the match point with a pin. Pressed the seam open and trimmed the pinwheel to 3 inches. Added borders 3 x 1 3/4 inch to each side and 5 1/2 x 1 3/4 to the other two sides. Block is now 5 12 inches; finishes at 5 inches.</span><br />

<br />
I sewed Ruth Farmer's block last week and mailed it to her. She wanted a six-inch block of 16 squares, with the four light squares in the middle. Here's my block for her:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is a very simple block, but for some reason, I kept thinking it about it. This week, I finally dug into my box of 2 1/2 inch squares that I've been cutting and saving for years and sewed a few blocks that are inspired by Ruth Farmer's block (8" instead of 6").<br />
<br />
Here are my blocks so far:<br />

This year's block exchange is equal parts partial seams, small blocks and colorful fabrics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regardless, by September, we will all have a pile of blocks that will be screaming </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be put into a beautiful quilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a note: I've found that if you bag up those blocks in a plastic bag, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can't hear them screaming so loudly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's fun to see everyone's hopes for the year in a quilt block. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though we're all very different, we enjoy the company and camaraderie of all being quilters. With so many other parts of our lives demanding attention, it's special that we take the time once a month to share a meal, stories, updates, advice (which I seriously appreciate), fabric and quilt blocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each person's block is in a different entry so you don't have to read through a single entry and find that person's block.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we shared our block plans this year, we did a bit of show and tell, as seen here:</div>

This year, we're making blocks full of triangles for Jan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She says it's a two-year quilt top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We provide the fabrics here … She's looking for prints that read solid, combined with white-on-white fabric for the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will make six blocks for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Size is 4.5 inches square.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jan will also take a 4 inch square of your colors that you used, if you're willing to provide.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, we're making a nine-patch block for Daisy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She will provide eight 4.5 inch squares of brown and beige fabrics (I guess she has enough fabric too).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The center square should be the main color of the quilt that we're doing this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kits from Daisy will be ready to go in February.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Size: 12.5 inches square</div>

Dorothy's block is so easy this year. I might do it twice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's looking for 4.5 inch squares of either red or dark green -- four or five.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If they're different, we should sew them together. If they're the same, don't sew them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She'll use these for borders for two finished quilts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have a picture of red and green fabric, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I found this one of Dorothy from a couple of years ago.</div>

Carol says to use your scraps for this one. She provided the background fabric,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This block also includes a partial seam (time to put on our big girl pants and do partial seams).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No size given, so when someone finishes one, let us know. And if you don't have any scraps, see Carol, or Cindy, or Eileen, or … of course you have scraps!<br />
<br />
NOTE FROM CAROL:<br />

Cindy's block is pretty awesome … it's her two favorite colors and includes a partial seam </div>

(which, along with very small blocks seems to be the order of this year's BE).</div>

She provided us with all the fabric (maybe she has enough fabric for the entire planet too).</div>

This is Eileen's Block (mine). It's called X and Plus. I provided all the fabrics for it (because I have enough fabric to make quilts for the entire planet).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Size: 12.5 inches square</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My instructions were kind of lame, so if you need some more assistance, there's a good tutorial (which is where I got the idea for this quilt) here:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start off with my apologies for the bad picture here … sorry, Beth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beth's block is called Thrifty. It's a nine patch made up of four, four-patch units and three larger blocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Size: 6.5 inches square</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is for a baby quilt -- Beth asked for light green prints for the dark squares and a cream solid or an unbleached muslin for the light squares.</div>

This is Bonnie's block. She wants us to make 16 units (so enough for four blocks) with happy, medium prints. She provided the background fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please do NOT sew the 4.5 inch units together. No brown, black or gray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only one with pink or purple, and only if you must.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
