BLUE AND YELLOW BLOCK SWAP - Closed - Blocks are Made and In The Mail
#583
My blocks arrived yesterday *happy dance* I love them all! They are so beautiful and warm and cheerful. I am going to make a quilt for the master bedroom with them, using Kyia's idea of having pale yellow sashing between the blocks and blue corner blocks.
I'd also like to put a piano keys border around the finished top - so I have a request: If you participated in the swap and have any blue and yellow scraps left from your blocks, would you send me a few to use in my border? They don't need to be big - 2 inches by 6 inches is big enough for me to use. I think it would look great if some of the piano keys in the border were the same fabrics from the blocks!
Thanks so much everyone!

PS. Colletta, I'm going to send you some more money for postage via PayPal, because I see that it cost you much more than we originally thought to send my blocks!

My blocks have arrived & they are allso beautiful, So that mean't just one thing to do today. Yes you guessed off I went to the local fabric store to buy fabric for the sashing & borders. I'll post pics tomorrow.
Now Lisa unfortunately there was no rugby tackle - the postman that delivered my package I wouldn't have touched with a barge pole LOL. Yep you got it he was rather creepy LOL. Listen to me Miss Greast Britain LOL :lol: :lol: Bless him
