More Block Exchange blocks

I sewed Georgia's blocks today.  This is going to be a really interesting quilt.  I can't wait to see how Georgia decides to set these blocks!

BE 2015 Georgia's Block

Georgia's block is called mini slice and play.

She's provided all the fabric.

She wants us to slice and sew four times per block, no more than five. Don't trim the blocks.

See you in Michigan soon!!!

Hi Block Exchangers

In anticipation of my trip to Michigan, I finished the rest of the exchange blocks and will bring them to Cindy's to distribute.

Terry's block.  My favorite blues - I loved piecing this block.

Carol's block.  I kept thinking I was done and then found I still had to cut about a dozen more rectangles!  It is a great block once it is done, though.

Dorothy's Log Cabin - this is going to be a lovely quilt with the yellow diagonals and the bright colors.

Two pieces for Georgia's heartwarmers baby quilt.

A blue block for Bonnie's"man quilt" for chemo patients.

Eileen's incredibly subtle quilt block.

 See you soon!

Sewing exchange blocks

I started sewing in my new quilt studio today. It feels so great to be able to sew again!

The first photo below shows part of the studio with my block exchange blocks on the design wall.

Georgia's blocks.

Fun to think of each quilter friend as I sew her block.  :)  So glad to have this connection. I love and miss you all!

Update from Linda

Linda's been pretty busy already. 

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

Georgia's block

This is Georgia's block. She calls it her 'HI' quilt.

Here are the instructions she gave us (along with most of the fabric):

Each 9 patch is made of 2 matching 2.5 square prints (given) and 

7 matching black and white prints (2.5 inches). 

Please choose two predominantly white for 2 of the 9-patches and 

2 predominantly block for the other two 9-patches.

Black and whites that are balanced may be used for one or two of the nine patches. 

She rally wants whites, not cream or off-white.

Don't sew the 9-patches together, she want to scatter the patterns.
