i'm not going to swap my block, but i'll use it for my avatar for a while; i'll also probably use it to make myself a tote bag.

Mine would be a stone house, I raised my family in a house built in 1782, My first name means servant and I used to be a Home Ec teacher. In the corners I would appliqué ;A maple leaf, (I am a Canadian)
A fleur-de-lis (to honour my French heritage)
A golden star ( my maiden name is from Acadian ancestry)
A shamrock (my DH was a proud Irish)

My name is Rose Lee, my nickname is Lillie. Due to the fact that my 1 1/2 yr. old brother could not say Rose Lee, he would say lee lee ,so I became Lillie. To make a long story short my block could be a Rose or a Lily, maybe both inside the map of Texas, since I am a Texan.

Looking at the ideas for name blocks, looks as though people are going to need lots of room. say 12 or 14 inch blocks. I just did an entire quilt of pieced bat blocks. Blocks were 14". Quilt finished at king size.
We have lots of ideas in one thread. Should someone start a thread for a board name block charity quilt
For those of us who would like to contribute a block to be placed in a quilt - I like the posted idea that we send $5.00 with our block to help with the finishing cost. I also am in favor of auctioning for charity. In a new quilter board name (charity) quilt thread we can decide on a goal date for blocks to be mailed to quilter, and all the other quilt details.
Can someone else start thread for a swap?
This thread can focus on our board name blocks --- and a thread to post our id blocks when finished.
