Great TRF Welcome back! I will be posting partners here shortly. Anyone want to jump in at the last minute today or even tomarrow let me know!! I don't mind adding anyone within a day or two of the deadline.
I love to get more players involved!! |
Okay here are the Partners!!
Rhonda.........Cheryl Stitchengramie....buffy2 sgardner............meant2b sgardner............kd7kyo TwinRiverFarm....Bbemerald If you have time and can post I would like to see pics of your fabrics and then pics of your progress if you could please. It helps to keep the conversation going and makes for a more fun thread. If anyone has questions just let me know!! Hope you all have fun!!! You can now pm your partner and discuss likes and dislikes and colors etc. You will need to exchange addresses either now or when you are ready to send. Also PLEASE remember to let me know when you mail and when you receive. If for any reason you can't make your quilt block let me know as soon as you can so I can find someone to substitute. Not letting me know will result in blocking from this swap in the future. |
Has everyone talked to your partner yet? Make sure you let me know if you have any trouble getting ahold of your partner.
Looking forward to seeing pics of your fabrics and progress!! |

How is everyone coming along? Has anyone finished their quilt block yet? IF your partner agrees you can post a pic of your quilt block!
I thought I would post a few pics of mine in progress. Cheryl I think I might even have mine done by tomarrow!! Can you believe it?? LOL Here are some pics of my progress. I used the Kansas Dugout blocks and this is one layout. I have considered a couple of other layouts. This isn't my final decision!! But it is close! |
Rhonda,
I have never thought about sewing the dugout blocks into strips and then cut them out. I wish you had shown this in your tutorial when making a dugout block. It does seem a lot easier to do, then to cutting swatches. |

You haven't lost me, I'm still following you on everything. And yes, I did it in strips because I do the Boston Blocks, HS, most everything in strips. And the Kansas Dugout, is one of my favorite. And I love this block!

Oh my goodness Rhonda, This block is BEAUTIFUL, the colors are dancing and alive. I love your choice of pattern's, as you know the Kansas dugout is my favorite. I also have always cut mine into strips then cut. I believe your pattern shows that????? Or the one I found did. I have this one down to a penny. I also recieved the block and yhour awesome. Oh so beautiful, The flower part doesn't do the real thing justice, as they match the green and teal... After seeing Katie's green and teal I fell in love with it. Again, Thank you
|
Beautiful Shelley!!
Cheryl so glad you like it!!! I did the KDs just for you!! LOL |
I want to say how beautiful it is!!!! I love how we had the similar pattern designed out.

Thought I'd check in! I've sent my block to TwinRiverFarm, but I'm not sure if she's received it yet. I'm posting a picture of the block I sent her. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I learned a lot from my 1st time of making your blocks Rhonda. Thanks for all of the help.
I'm posting a picture. TwinRiverFarm said to surprise her, so I thought I'd take the 4th of July patriotic theme. Hope your enjoy the block. [ATTACH=CONFIG]346180[/ATTACH] Also, I did recieve my block from TinwRiverFarm. Very happy with the block she sent. Haven't taken a picture yet. P.S. Thanks for the wonderful templates! |
