Ah! I was afraid I'd done that. I had them packaged up already, and tried to rely on my memory to tell me whose was whose, when I was adding the photos to my website! Shows how good my memory is, huh? :roll: :lol:

Thanks for telling me. I'll fix it right now. :mrgreen:

ETA: All fixed! :thumbup:

I have blocks going home Monday to Missgigglewings, and to Oatw13, hope you both like your blocks.Pat

wendsy 08-29-2010 08:51 AM

I've posted photos of all the blocks I've made and received at the link below.

SPOILER ALERT TO EVERYONE ELSE: If you haven't received your block from me yet, don't look or it'll ruin the surprise!

Wow!! what great work you've done! It's also amazing to see the different squares that can be made out of the same fabric, what each person chose as the accent color!

quiltlin 08-29-2010 09:05 AM

Received fabrics from dawsontracy35, goldendog55, Jupiter and OdessaQuilts.

quiltlin 08-29-2010 09:09 AM

Thanks for the sneak peek...love the block!

oatw13 08-29-2010 09:32 AM

Received fabric from knlsmith and Quiltlin (if I didn't already mention this!).

Yes, the fabric is mine. Thanks, I love the block.

I'm back, been gone three days and the mailbox had four F8ths and my first grown up block.

F8ths: goldendog55, dawson.tracy35, quiltlin and knlsmith

Block from moonrise. Thanks it's great. Love the colors you used.

KarenBarnes 08-29-2010 06:53 PM

Since my last listing of squishies received I have gotten them from dawson.tracy35, Jupiter, knlsmith, and OdessaQuilts. I've also received grown up blocks from ReneeBobby, and fryguymoore. What fun this is! I'll have to post pics later...

Anyone have any ideas?

Any ideas please?

Also, I am glad everyone seems to like my green. I can't believe I found it at Joann's!

I hope to start on blocks next weekend. Busy busy busy, but this way people will still be getting squishies in the mail over the next month or two. :D

knl,
I would make an embroidery design that fits in a 6.5" square and then use blocks that have a big center-like an 8 pointed star.

Hope this helps in some way.

hugs

I got two more F8's from dawson.tracy35 andknlsmith. Started working on blocks to fly back home. So much fun seeing and feeling all the pretty materials.

kwiltkrazy 08-30-2010 11:28 AM

Ksea your block to Wendsy is delightful, the colors just pop.

I love your hole in the barn door it looks out onto a field of sunflowers.

Fryguy, I got your block today, it's gorgeous. I will post a picture as soon as I can.

Got f8's from Dawson, beautiful rose print, Knlsmith, a lovely green on green, and a orange with kids playing from Quiltlin.

I shipped a block back to shaysmema. It turned out so nice. Those are not colors I ever use, but I should, I really like it.

I received blocks from jlin, bibliostone, and cat18. This is going to be an amazing quilt. Thank you so much!

I received squishies from dawsontracy and klnsmith.

I'll second that! Wow!

kwiltkrazy 08-30-2010 02:38 PM

Fryguy, you hit the Mother lode, those blocks are gorgeous, breath taking. The first one just jumps off the screen, I don't think the second one,s color combo would have even occurred to me but it is perfect, and I love the pattern, the third one is also a perfect match. You guys did a wonderful job.

Fryguy you are going to have a wonderful quilt. Awesome.

moonrise 08-30-2010 04:16 PM

F8 received from dawson.tracy35, and two gorgeous blocks received from missgigglewings! Woo hoo! :thumbup: Photos to follow later this evening.

Rec'd a very pretty block today from Fryguy. It came postage due. In 2.0 every block I sent back was 64 cents.

I am so sorry, you would think I would know how big 1/4 inch is
:?

My husband brought me home the thing they [the post office] uses to measure if the envelope is too big. They are all too big, but I didn't realize that until just today.

Okie dokie!

The following grownup blocks are ready to go back to their mommies in the morning: knlsmith, odessaquilts, dawson.tracy35. :)

Tracy, your block was a l'il stinker! ;) First she wouldn't talk to me, but as soon as I opened the door where my fabric stash is, she immediately pointed to one fabric in particular. I told her sorry, that I was saving that fabric for another project, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. She was right, though. The fabric had her name all over it! So, in the end, she won. ;) Hope you like how she turned out! :mrgreen:

And here are the two blocks missgigglewings sent me! Aren't they pretty! :thumbup:

I got 2 beautiful blocks in the mail today.

Wendsy- from the one you sent I never would've guessed batiks aren't your thing. It's wonderful!

Ksea- I can see why you'd want to keep the block! It's wonderful. I appreciate the border fabrics... I'll let them sit together for a while and work out what they want me to do.

kwiltkrazy 08-30-2010 08:57 PM

Wow Moonrise your quilt is busy, but very beautiful. Miss Giggles your blocks are wonderful. MegsAnn, both of those blocks are spectacular. It's amazing to me how people read the material so differently from others. Wendsy went with light batiks, and ksea went with the darks. When I took psychology they said you could read a person from the color choices they chose, I can't remember a thing from it mow. 20 years ago. lol

dawson.tracy35 08-31-2010 03:10 AM

LOL moonrise, I am afraid she gets that from her owner... a little shy at first then when she sees something she wants, she doesnt take no for an answer!!! I wouldn't know anyone like that at all. Just dont ask my husband, lol!
I am so excited to see your block. I have set the whole day today aside just to play with all my squishies. Other than wood puttying holes in my floor so i can lay tile, I have nothing on my agenda for the day. I sent my first block out yesterday to Kathy N. Hope you like it! It wanted to stay here but I set it free... back to mama.

MegsAnn I am so glad that you like your block, isn't it funny how may different looking blocks you can get from the same fabric. I have been on a dark fabric kick for a little while now, I love my life so I don't think it is a reflection of my emotions but just a new direction.

dawson.tracy35 08-31-2010 06:05 AM

oK GUYS MY COMPUTER JUST BURNT UP SO I WILL NOT BE ONLINE MUCH I THINK. I am on my daughters now and can check in frequently but not as often! not sure how long will be before mine gets fixed. will update u guys later!

Jupiter 08-31-2010 07:23 AM

WOW! Your butterfly board full is looking wonderful. You'll be getting my block in a few days. I have a growing pile of envelopes I need to take to the post office, so they can wind their way home.

I received grown up blocks from Goldendog55 and Jlin52!

It amazes me how people from all different areas of the country and Canada can find those perfect fabrics and all of them blend so nicely!

I also have grown-up blocks all packaged up and ready to be mailed for: KnlSmith, QuiltLin, Hoppyfrog, Ksea, Oatw13, and JLin52. These will be in the mail within a few days, I'm trying to get a few more done, I have 8 F8s with their matching fabric ready to be cut!
