Fine blocks, mmac. I especially like those with the orange. . Glad you got the pix to load.

I had too many projects going to join this time, but the next one is already on my must do list. Beautiful blocks ladies!

Happy Easter everyone - hope all had a nice holiday. My nine patches are done - wanted to show them to my daughter today before mailing them. I plan to put them in the mail tomorrow - just finished putting them into the plastic bags. I originally thought 80 would be overwhelming to make, but they went together so quickly. I had withdrawal when I was finished - it became addicting making them. Now the wait to see everyone's patches will seem endless. This is my first ever swap - I've enjoyed every minute of the process.

Yes, it is addictive to make these! I thought it would take much longer for everyone to make 80, which is why I gave us til the end of April to get them to me. Next time I will give a shorter time frame.

Can't wait to see your blocks, obrien. Are you not able to post pictures? I'm sure everyone would like to see them. If you want, I can take some pictures for you when the blocks get to me.

I'm trying to get the quilting on my civil war quilt done, then I can play with some more blocks from my scraps.

obrienwv, Welcome to your first swap! It's my first 9-patch swap, and I'm pretty excited about it!

Here is some fabric that was a really cool ink blot pattern. What did I see in the ink blots? Well, honestly, I saw an 8 pointed star quilt pattern! lol Now that it's all cut up, it's hard to see it anymore. And what did I see in the green print? It's the decorative wire over the windows of the asylum. We are looking out to greener pastures. :-)

I already have my blocks all packaged, but I made extras of some of my favorite ones so I'll take a picture of those and post them tomorrow. Sewbizgirl, that would be great if you could take pics of the others after you receive them - thank you.

I can't wait to get some of the lovely blocks I've seen posted. Is it the end of the month yet?

obrienwv

All of my 80 squares are already packaged, but these are some of the ones that I made extras of:

Oh shoot... your pictures didn't post, obrien. They most likely need to be reduced in size.
