SBG, What! You've been feeling up the packages? :-p
I hope to finish up this weekend, and have mine in the mail Monday.

Hi Sewbizgirl

wondering when you will have another swap like this?

Barb

Hi Barb! I hope you got to check out some of the pictures that have been posted here!

After this swap we are going to take about a month off, as we have done two of these back-to-back, pretty much. Then will post sign ups again, probably sometime in August. Next time we will be doing scrappy blocks with 4 whites and 5 colors. These are the type that can be used to make Irish Chains and lots of other patterns. Maybe you can find a use for some birthday candies? If you like, I can alert you when the sign ups begin.

That sounds great Sewbizgirl. Please let me know when sign up starts.
Yes I did see the pictures of the blocks and the are so cute! I especially like givio’s quilt that she made. Oh I wish I had more time!

Barb, Did you see the blocks NZquilter is making, with the star points in brown and the background scrappy neutrals? It's really cute! Check out post #483 on the first 9patch swap thread. March/April 9 Patch Block Swap-- Sign Has Closed I agree with her comment, the blocks were just the right size, no problems at all making the larger block out of the 9patch block. Everyone sewed great.

You are too kind, Givio. I haven't been able to sew much these past few weeks, but I did sneak in another block on Friday. Can't wait to see it all come together.

I am really tempted to join Sewbiz's next 9-patch swap. I have several setting ideas, this being an interesting one. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/403283341604701704/

Sorry, for some reason the link isn't showing the one I like the best. Ah well, you get the idea

This would be a fun one in scraps too! https://encyclopediaquiltpatterns.bl...-1046.html?m=0

That 'Chain of Diamonds' is a really cool setting. I just love the work that Barbara Brackman does. She shares so much, a really wonderful quilter with lots of knowledge.

Love the Jacks Chain! I think someone posted theirs somewhere on this site a while back. I seem to remember seeing it.

Aha! It was PaperPrincess.
Jack's Chain...have you made one?
