Some where I saw an attic window with cats in each pane.

Perfect!

I won't be in the swap so I don't care. What I make will end up as a pillow most likely and the block itself will be about 16"

Hmmm, what block would represent a Farm Quilter? Sitting in the combine doing hand quilting? Could be interesting, but it would have to be larger than 9"!!! This is such a fun idea!!!

OMG Do you really want to see what this crabby patty looks like? Do you prefer upon rising or later after I have my hair combed?HeeHee. I'll just have to see what I can come up with. Sounds like fun though.patti

P.S. I'll show it but don't think I want to swap. Don't know how long it will take me to do it. :oops:

Well my name means "woman friend" so I guess a friendship star would work.

I missed that thread. I do think it is a fun idea. I'll have to get started on mine because I am also making a tropical appliqued wall hanging for my DDIL to represent the trip she and my son took to St. Thomas last year for their 10th anniversary. I can make two uses out of one idea. :)

Not sure what I would do with mine. Maybe transfer a photo of all my ufo's

The discussion about making a name block and quilt begins on page 37/38 http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-142025-37.htm of the original thread. We should focus on what we want to do, and how we could best do it.
• Do we want to make our individual blocks and simply post a picture of it?
• Do we want to determine a standard size, make our blocks and send them to a collector who will then assemble them into a quilt(s)?
• If a quilt is made . . .
- who pays for the batting and backing?
- would someone volunteer to do the quilting?
- would someone like to donate the supplies?
- would we each send in, say, $5.00 with our block to cover the above expenses?
• If a quilt is made, what will become of it?
- could we, as individuals, pay to have it displayed at our local shows? (That would include shipping and handling, insurance and show fee)
- would we want to auction it and give the money to the QB?

I think we have the potential to make history, or at least a magazine article. Perhaps our quilts would end up in the museum in Paducah. Who knows at this point?

Feed some ideas related to the project as a whole. We can also bounce ideas pertaining to our individual blocks. I'm thinking big. I'd like to see the blocks made into a quilt.

Many states have had the counties or parishes provide a block representing that county/parish, the blocks were assembled into a quilt, and hang in prominent places around the states. We can do this!

If your screen name is nondescript, I think it would be fine to make your own little name crest to paint, print, embroider or applique onto your block. My opinion - what say ye others?

mine would have to be scrappy
