GramE, this turned out wonderfully! I love the softness of the blue with the white. Cannot wait to see it when it's quilted. :)

This is why i signed up for Boom 17. This is what all the precious souls made for me in Boom 16 GroupTherapy! I fussed & fidgeted with how to arrange them, then they got mixed up when I took it down to take a trip to my daughter's house, then when I took them down to sew the first sashing on, they got twisted again & today when sewing the spacers & the sashing I reversed two rows! And now as I look at it as a whole, it couldn't be more beautiful! Thank you you all for a wonderful time. And magnificent results! :thumbup: :thumbup: |

I prefer rectangular quilts over square ones, don't know why. But as this already is beautiful, if you add another row it'll only be more so.

GramE - That is so pretty! It will be a treasure for sure. One of the nicest things of a friendship swap like this is the memories sewn into each block. Before the rise of the internet, my quilter "pen pals" and I would include little stories about ourselves with the fabric we swapped. It was nice to read what they wrote, then match those notes with the fabric and blocks we swapped each month.

Quilters, I tried the Jinny Beyer pattern, Radio Windmill. One thing I noticed was that my printer did not print the guideline at the required 2 inches. It was off by 3/8ths of an inch. Very hard to adjust. So I used a 4 inch square and went from there. I practiced a bit before I made these for the swap. Then I had trouble uploading the photos. Hope you can see them.
LUM, This one is for your Quilt Of Valor. I like it so much better than my first block for you. [ATTACH=CONFIG]559437[/ATTACH] |
Beautiful block, All2pieces.

Billi, your fabric excited me because I have this great musical note fat quarter that should have worked nicely. Not so much. But I couldn't get the ideas out of my head. So you get two very different blocks. I hope you can use them. The first is a Radio Windmill. Appropriate for a sound engineer, I think. I called the second block "Change in Tempo", just for fun.

NanaKathy55 = Your fabric brought to mind crocheted doilies and cut glass candy dishes. I hope you enjoy the block I made for you.
