Colletta is in danger of being swamped by an avalanche of blocks when all of those show up at her house!

LOL There sure a lot of blocks making their way to her house!!!!

Bring 'em on! :lol:

Colletta; This is almost like Christmas. I can't believe how many people are signed up for this one.
I keep looking at more patterns and wanting to make all of them.
Would you please add a second block choice to mine --
Leaves and diamonds.
Thank you for all your time in this.
Elaine

So exciting -

Ok Colletta I think I have my blocks figured out. Put me down for Amish Diamond and Cog block.

Have the fabric picked out, washed and ready to iron.

Have the Sept. Doll Quilt swap to work on and the DJ Christmas block also.

Now where do I fit the homework in??? and the tests??? and...

I just wanna quilt :cry: :cry: :cry:

Ok,
Here's mine.
This is just a sample made out of scraps.
Not the actual fabrics I will be using.
Wild Duck is the name of the block!
Kirsten

I am so looking forward to this swap....
(better than Christmas for me anyway!)

I've been going through my stash, it still looks like shopping is in the future.....sigh

Colletta, you are just an angel to do this for all of us. Many thanks!
I do hope you have a strong mailman!

KO

the block looks great

Thanks Klue....
Now the colors....
Kirsten

I have a very strong "mail-lady".

Everyone's blocks are looking so nice! I need to finish up the quilt I'm working on and can't wait to get started on my blocks.

Pretty block KO...what fabrics are you planning to use?

Cheers,
Wow what fun to choose another block, mine will be "Pine Burr".
Can't wait to see them all fall into place.
stitchfully :D

I figured out the math and it will be a nine patch in a four patch. I'll try to post a pic later this week.

Kyia

like your block ko

I can't believe we have at least 63 sign-ups already. This is shaping up to be as big as the Black and White Swap. I wonder if I'll have enough time to do a 3rd set. Hmm...

Great looking block ko!!

Here's my block..Does it read fall?? Colletta??

The hst looks white but it's cream.

Kirsten,

I really like the green fabric in that block even if it isn't your "real" fabric.

Lisa

Very pretty. I think it will go nicely with the other blocks.

Pretty pretty.

I think I'll do a nine patch in a nine patch. It may look wierd. I'll have to see until I play with the blocks.

Kyia

Just quilting...
I am loving your block and colors...
I wanted to make sure I could make a block behave to 12 1/2" and did not want to waste my "good" fabric so I will be making mine in some fall, muted colors...
I also wanted to try a new block, instead of the usual suspects...
Thanks for the compliments but am wishing I had time to do like 6 sets so I could get a sample of all the fabulous blocks that will be made.
Kirsten

Sign me up. My pattern is Buckeye Beauty.

Colletta,

I think my blocks will be Mississippi, Paper Pinwheels and Rail Fence. If I find other patterns I like more I will post a change.

Thank you

Here is my block! The green looks TERRIBLE in this photo- it is actually a very pretty sage with "stamped" darker green leaves, and specks of gold throughout the whole thing. Very "fall-esque," which isn't translated into the picture.

Very nice, blue!

That looks great, Blue! I like your choice of fabrics.

Love your block, Blue!
Really love the plaids!!

Very nice block!!!

Here's a question for debate. I was shopping and saw some really cute fall print with Thanksgiving turkeys on it. I decided to not get turkeys since we specified "fall", but what is everyone's concensus about that?

I personally would rather it just be fall and not as specific as Turkeys for Thanksgiving. I guess it would depend on the print. Is it an outdoorsy type print or a cartoony print?

I saw both. Most were cartoony type. That is a good reply, because some of the "natural" looking turkeys are very "fall". It was kinda disappointing that there were not more fall prints out yesterday (9-1-09). Maybe folks are not in the "fall" mood until after laborday? Very few sales, too.

Here's my fabric.

Colletta, I would like to change Harvest block to Centennial Block, if it has not been chosen, the basket is on its side unless you place it on point, I didn't realize this until today.Thanks

Sounds good. Count me in.

Here is my block. I hope it is what you all had in mind.

Here is my block, its called party hats. Hope its a good clour for everyone.
