BE 2015 Cindy's Block

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

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

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

Size: 16.5 inches square

Cindy's cat loves this block … I wonder if Cindy will give it to the cats?

BE 2015 Eileen's Block

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).

Size: 12.5 inches square

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:

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.

BE 2015 Bonnie's Block

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.

Please do NOT sew the 4.5 inch units together. No brown, black or gray. 

Only one with pink or purple, and only if you must.

Bonnie said she's making this for chemo patients.

BE 2015 Louise's Block

Block Exchange 2015 is off and running -- some of us are still trying to catch up! So, here goes. I'm posting these in the order they are in my bag (which yes, this is the first time I've opened it since BE in January …)

Lousie's block is up first:

She's chosen an unconventional log cabin. The center can be a four-patch, nine-patch, or anything we might find interesting.

Logs (1.5 inches wide) can be in anything except very light colors.

She'd like four blocks. 

Size: 6.5"

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!

two more BE completed

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