Fall Block Swap/So a new adventure begins.
#15
Okay girls, here are my prototypes of my first two blocks. What do you think? Both blocks will trim out to be the 9 1/2" size.
Just wondering here judith, do the blocks gave to be square? Or can they be like a combination of the sizes? Say a 6 1/2" x 12 1/2" or a 9 1/2 x 12 1/2"?

Red, those are fabulous!!! I love them.
Yes Red, I prefer them to be square. But, if your making some for you own quilt, feel free to add them in.
I confess, I haven't even started any blocks yet. I'm right in the middle of finishing up a quilt top that only needs 1 more square made for it. It is an old BOM (Block of the Month) that I found online a couple years ago and started it last year. But, hey, it is almost a finished top.. I have to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed making the blocks. But, the tutorials weren't written the best. (I really like when they tell give you the finished block sizes on the "different parts" that make the whole block. And, that you can download the instructions as a PDF. I had to keep each link to the block I was working on until I completed the blocks. It is definitely a real skill builder. It would be a big stretch for a beginner quilter. No impossible, but, difficult for sure.

I just found some fabric that has tiny images of items you gather for a thanksgiving meal on a cream background. It even has a cooked turkey on a platter. I thought, "Hey this would be dang cute as a apron block. Because it looks kinda retro." I remember them from some time back, but I didn't copy a pattern down at the time. Anyone remember those? I liked them, but I don't know if it would be okay for a fall quilt. What do you girls think? I love baking in the fall.
I have a pattern and specialty ruler (that comes with it) that was from elenore burns that is either a colorful leaf or a turkey block. I want to try and find it and use it for this swap too. I looked last night with no luck. I am determined though ... LOL!
