NEW SWAP! Disappearing Four Patch quilt blocks!
#181
I have a question,did anyone put their name on their blocks? I did only because we always have and it's nice to know who your blocks are from. I wrote my board name on a small piece of paper and sewed it to the edge of my blocks.

Jane, my 5 sets are in the mail to you.
Girls, Sorry, I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet, so -- surprise! for how mine look.

I knew I forgot something!!! I always like to know too and now I know what I forgot. Already sent my black and white and brights too, but batiks I will remember. Thanks for reminding me.

Jane, you are not going to cause problems. LOL. DH would never forbid me to do something I really want to do, so if there is a month I have the fabric for and I really want to get in on, I for sure will. LOL Actually, he would never forbid me to do anything, as that would be a sure way to get me doing it if I was so inclined. Heehee. We don't tell each other what to do, I just couldn't find a good answer to his logic.
Next one I join, I will use all one fabric, then I'll get all different ones back and that will make more sense.

Ready to do final seams on set # 4 (my last set) of the 30s prints and have fabrics picked out for black/white/bright ones. It was harder than I expected to find brights that read as solids in my stash - most of mine are multicolor prints.

I was thinking like your DH then it hit me....I made two sets - each set is made from one type of 1930's fabric, but I'll be getting back 2 sets with a total of 12 DIFFERENT 1930's fabric blocks. So it saved me lots of money swapping vs. going to the store to buy fabric and white tone-on-tone and for 12 different blocks! Well worth the postage and time for me.
Also, since I already had 12 different blocks already made, when I receive my swap blocks I'll have 24 different blocks and only need to make a few more to make a lap quilt. That's time and money saved! and I have a beautiful quilt made with love by some of the very best and generous quilter friends I could ask for!
How's that for justification!?
