I am seeing all the great ideas you are coming up with. I have these 9" finished blocks.
Would they work since they are not all the same fabrics?[ATTACH=CONFIG]343261[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]343262[/ATTACH]

I love pears, look yummy to me.

rwquilts 06-19-2012 03:19 PM

Jillnjo, your pears are too cute! I want one! :)

jillnjo 06-19-2012 03:39 PM

You can have one! The brown one may be overripe till it gets to you!

Mariposa 06-19-2012 03:43 PM

Love your blocks but.... Please tell me these are 91/2 " blocks! (I have to ask this you know... sorry)

jillnjo 06-19-2012 05:51 PM

They are 91/2 square unfinished, yes. Is that OK?

I looked in the info on the first page and 91/2 by 91/2 is not mentioned, so maybe they won't fit in?

QuilterMomma 06-19-2012 06:45 PM

I believe they have to be divisible by 3 and 9 is divisible for sure.

RedGarnet222 06-20-2012 06:01 AM

Perfect size! Whew... that scared me. LOL! Thanks so much for clarifing.

I thought they would be great.
The hard part will be deciding which ones to use.:shock:

I was just going to ask if I could do an embroidery block...

marcialee 06-20-2012 07:06 AM

i think i need to be in on this swap. I have a pp swap I am doing now, so after that I will let you know how many sets and what I will be doing.

jillnjo 06-20-2012 09:36 AM

Ok, I am off to make another set! I will let you know how many sets before sending. I love having the option of different sizes. Fun stuff in this HOT summer we are having.

QuilterMomma 06-20-2012 09:44 AM

These are going to be some fun blocks!!!!!!

Here is my second set. Do we get only the sizes back that we sent or a mixture of different sizes?[ATTACH=CONFIG]343515[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]343516[/ATTACH]

rwquilts 06-20-2012 05:30 PM

Wow! Those are gorgeous Jillnjo!

RedGarnet222 06-21-2012 07:44 AM

Hi jill,
Those are lovely blocks for fall! You will get a mix of blocks back. There isn't always the exact amount of blocks all the sizes of a person's sets. But, all of the blocks are so nice, I know you will be happy with them. Have you never done a swap before? You will be so excited and happy to recieve your squishy package in the mail, it will feel like christmas. LOL...

jillnjo 06-21-2012 08:11 AM

No, I've not been in a block swap before. I am so looking forward to seeing all the different blocks that I get-yippee! I have a couple more ideas, but they will have to wait until after the 4th of July.

Actually, I would love all different sizes, rather than just what I send.

It's been a loooong time since I've canned tomatoes and these were much easier to put up! LOL! I hope they will be okay. They measure 9 1/2" x 12 1/2".

QuilterMomma 06-21-2012 09:44 AM

OH OH OH OH OH OH OH, I just love those. I want them. Man, seeing all the great blocks, I am hooked to get in for sure. Love them. Hope my tomatoes look that good this season.:)

Mariposa 06-21-2012 11:03 AM

rw- I love your tomato jars!! :)

ssnare 06-21-2012 11:56 AM

I love the geese and the tomato jars.

jillnjo 06-21-2012 12:54 PM

Fantastic tomato jars!! I want one of those, do they ever make me think of harvest and fall!

rwquilts 06-21-2012 12:58 PM

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I like them, but you never know what others will think. :)

kensington 06-21-2012 01:45 PM

Just wondering, is everyone doing an applique' block? I really love the bright colors and fabrics of fall, but I like the rotary cut strip pieced block. Would that work? Simple and bright? I don't do leaves and squirrels and or turkeys. LOL.

QuilterMomma 06-21-2012 01:57 PM

I think it would be great to have a pieced block in fall colors. Oh go for it.

jillnjo 06-21-2012 02:16 PM

Yes, wouldn't a Bear Paw block in autumn colors look great? I seen the most gorgeous fall quilt in that pattern.

RedGarnet222 06-21-2012 04:53 PM

I Love those canned tomatoes! Great job rwquilts!

Yes all types of blocks will be represented when they are all in kensington. I am looking forward to seeing your pieced fall blocks.

kensington 06-21-2012 06:10 PM

The canned tomatoes is so creative and bright. What a great block!

Ms Grace 06-22-2012 01:10 PM

I love the canned tomato block.
I sure hope I get one of those!:thumbup:

rwquilts 06-22-2012 04:00 PM

Thank you everyone! I'm so glad you like them. :)

Tam...Moo 06-24-2012 10:52 AM

The truth is, I think you are showing off with those blocks. And, the ONLY way you can redeem yourself is to send me one of them. :p

Here is my second set of blocks. I have this wonderful fall bird print that I've been waiting for something really special to use it in. I thought it might work for this swap? Uncanned fruits? LOL! I've added some of my batiks also. I know that there's some purple in here, but hope these are okay?


Ms Grace 06-27-2012 06:13 AM

Ronda,
They are gorgeous!

jillnjo 06-27-2012 06:35 AM

Yes, they are gorgeous!!! The batiks really make the centers sparkle. Lovely.

QuilterMomma 06-27-2012 07:46 AM

Ohhh Ohhh Ohh Oh, WOW! Those are pretty. I am going to have to get busy next month to make mine. Those are fabulous. This will help me pick out my colors of fabric I have. I have this wonderful stack of fall colors and designs so this will be fun when I get there.
