Thank you Quiltermomma - I love these two beautiful blocks that you made for me. I am intrigued by the color combinations and the design - I have looked at this pattern but never been brave enough to try it. These are the first two blocks for my new quilt that I will make from my monthly swaps - I am so blessed with these two beautiful blocks and the gorgeous applique quilt from quiltermomma - I am the luckiest swapper ever![ATTACH=CONFIG]344660[/ATTACH]

Hi all! I'm Sauki1 (Angie) and I just signed up for the next swap. This sounds like a great opportunity to see some spectacular squares by some very talented quilters! I can't wait to start. :)

Welcome Sauki1--you will be so happy you joined this swap. Here is the beauty I received from zzmom. First one with my new color choices.

very pretty blocks

I love, love, love the use of fabric designs and colors in this block.

I received my block from Roe (Rosalie) yesterday and I love it - love the style of the block. Here's pics of the one she sent me and the ones I sent her. The 'windmill' block was a test, but it turned out a wee bit short - it was too pretty to pitch so sent it anyway. She liked both and said she'd use them in her quilt. I love this swap - hope we keep it up. It's been so quiet last couple months, guess everyone is busy w/outdoor work. Keep in touch everyone..;o)

Hugs to all,
Jean

Jean............I just LOVE the blocks you have made for your partner!! They are all so pretty & the color's are wonderful. I haven't participated for the last year, but hopefully I can return in the Fall.
:D :D :D :D

This board has the MOST TALENTED quilters!! Great job everyone.

Well now- big bummer. I did up the two blocks for my June swap partner and I love them. But they have a problem. Sigh. Seems I overshot the sentence in the pattern where it instructs the sewer to use '1/4 scant seams'. Agh.

But my partner is amazing - I told her my dilemma and that I was going make up new blocks for her. And I promised her she would get them soon or I'd do the dishes. (She giggled and told me NOT to hurry. Imagine.)

Here's the blocks I goofed on. Her request was Depression blocks in bold colors.

How did I 'almost' do?

best,

Oh! I think those are wonderful blocks! I would find a way to use them! I love the colors.
