Okay, I am not really sure what it is called, but can find out later tonight. It is drafted from a picture in an old book I have. It is usually pieced with the center in 4 parts of the background fabric, but I changed my construction cause I absolutely wanted to highlight the print in the f8 I recieved. Sew glad you all like it. It did require incomplete seams that got completed later.....this is the one I did in boom 9.

Nice block alikat 110. I have been busy and not done any sewing the last two weeks but things are looking good for next week.I am not going anywhere and will get a bunch more done.

Alikat, Im not in this swap but wanted to tell you what a beautiful block you made. Ive seen that block only HUGH and never could figure out how to reduce it down from a full size spread to a 12" block. Its call Labyrith or something like that and have seen the full size pattern for sale in Keepsake Quilting magazine. IF you have the block figured out and wouldnt mind sharing I would love to know how you did it!! Im not good at "making" patterns at all...if its not written out word for word, inch by inch Im not gonna complete it! LOL Its beautiful!!!

Alikat thanks for posting a tute for the block, nicely done.
Abby's mom got your blocks yesterday. Thank you so much for making me 2. I can do that little 4 patch no problem, love it, made me giggle your little note[ATTACH=CONFIG]436133[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]436135[/ATTACH]Just so all of you know, Joan ran out of my red but sent me the rest of the block and white for me to make the little 4 patch for another block. You gotta' love that for sure. The maia group is done so thought I'd show you a pic of my quilt. They did their squares with just the black added. Ordered some varigated thread in the pink and gold colors that I'm waiting on to quilt it. I think it turned out pretty nice. [ATTACH=CONFIG]436153[/ATTACH] |
Turned out beautiful!
Gaijin |
Thanks Gaijin, it's so different colors than what I usually do, but I really like the way it turned out. I'm sure one of my kids or grandkids will grab it when they're here next month. Might make them wait for awhile so I can enjoy it for just a tad:)
|
I am sending out two from this group today Pinklady and Troy26. I have three left to go that I have the F8's for. I plan to have all blocks done for both of my groups by next Monday.
|
Jaba - the black really makes the colors stand out! Looks good.
|
Jaydee, your grownup is in the mailbox. I am officially complete with the Electra group.

I am sending grownups to Mollymuchkin Rose Irish and Jadee3 that is everyone I received a F8 from. Only one I haven't received from Grammy1231? Thank you all for swapping. :)

Still waiting for the same ones to come back. I know that there is still 6-7 weeks left, just doing an update. Would appreciate them soon if all of you have some time.
|
jaba..mine are all done, squared up and ready to seal and send...will be done this week!
|
My great grand daughter will be here in about a month and this quilt is for her (red/white bedr), just thought it would be nice if I could give it to her instead of sending it.
