April Exchange Blocks

So nice to sit in my quilt studio with the windows open on this sunny spring day.  I sewed a couple Block Exchange blocks (plus I cut out and mailed fabric to Dorothy - not pictured).

Jan's blocks.

Beth's block.

Happy Spring to all of my quilter friends!

BE 2015 Beth's Block

Let's start off with my apologies for the bad picture here … sorry, Beth. 

Beth's block is called Thrifty. It's a nine patch made up of four, four-patch units and three larger blocks.

Size: 6.5 inches square

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.

two more BE completed

These will go in the mail today to Jan and Beth.  Enjoy!

BE at Louise's house, Feb 2012

I am ever grateful to Louise for agreeing to host Block Exchange this year!  And so glad that I got to go to Block Exchange one more time before I leave town.  I was like a zombie at January's BE meeting (having just packed my entire household to move to Minnesota), so I wasn't fully aware of everyone's blocks.  At Louise's last night, it was fun to be able to see and appreciate people's blocks.

Here are Beth and Debra with many of the blocks on the table in front of them.

Erin Person was there, with her Broadway blocks from last year's BE.  Here is a close-up of Linda's wonderful "Into the Woods" block for Erin's quilt - fantastic!

Here are some of the blocks for me.  Terry's is the top center and still had pins in it so that she could finish my block before we left.  I love how this quilt is coming together!

Sad to say goodbye to my quilting friends, but so glad that we will stay connected throughout the year as we make blocks for each other.  I'm looking forward to sewing people's blocks each month and thinking about our friendships. :)

Update from Linda

Linda's been pretty busy already. 

She's been working on blocks for Daisy, Cindy, Jan, Beth, Lisa, Beth and Georgia.

Beth's block

This is Beth's block. It's a Sawthooth Star.

She would like fabric in the blues and greens as shown in the stars.

That's all. Just the fabric. 

She wins the award for the easiest 'block' this year.
