Hi everyone,
I went down to start quilting tonight and I had a thought. I have a daughter that is graduating on the 29th of this month from culinary school. I was planning to do some fun things for her kitchen for Easter, but I may decide to just give it all to her for graduation. This is where I would like to request your help. I have been doing the block swap and have loved it. For anyone who would like to swap with me, I would like to make a wall hanging and some table runners and such. My only requirement on the blocks would be that they are somehow food related.
Man, I should have thought of this in February or March.
Thanks

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Just a quilt block and then I would make a block for you, and we would swap. Yes, I would need them asap so I can get this done on time. If I give it to her late, she will understand, but I would like to have it done as close to that date as possible. Then with the quilt blocks, I would make a wall hanging and a table runner.

Your best bet would be to ask for a fat quarter or two of any food related fabric, that way you can make the quilt or wall hanging anyway you want. My son too likes to cook so I have been collecting items with food and cooking utensils.
Loralie has a hilarious fabric coolection with all different kinds of cooks.

I looked through my 501 pattern book.
There are several that might work.
blocks NAMED for kitchen items
churn dash
corn & beans
rolling pin
cake plate
fruit basket
?? :mrgreen: dresden plate ??
pieced blocks of teacups, etc
pieced farm animals... rooster, ckn, cow, sheep
I dont have any food fabric. I do have 30's charms & that really cute Canning Day stuff from connecting threads.
Would any of those be acceptable to you? If so, I would like to trade a block with you :)
do you have color preferences ... DD kitchen?
know what else would be cute, one block that is just checkerboard in red or blue or a muted tone that matches her kithen
mousie has lots of imagination... hee!

IMHO a bunch of novelty fabrics gets old after awhile, unless they are a focus fabric and you use one in each block center for example. You could make a churn dash with a food fabric in the center. If you put a snowball block next to it, it looks great. Hope this helps and it will go FAST.
