Very pretty birds.

Mariposa 06-27-2012 02:37 PM

rw- love your bird blocks! Especially the one with blue & purple in it! :) Great job!

Tam...Moo 06-27-2012 05:59 PM

I love your blocks.

rwquilts 06-27-2012 06:08 PM

Thanks guys! I was hoping they would work for this swap. Two down, not sure how many more to go? Have to switch gears here and make some more funky log cabin blocks now, then I'll get back to these. :)

marcialee 06-27-2012 11:43 PM

I love what I see, can't wait to get started on my blocks.

RedGarnet222 06-28-2012 07:13 AM

Welcome to the swap marcialee! I have you all signed in. :~)

Hi rwquilts... Nice bird blocks! I just llove them. The log cabin ones sound very nice too. I am so excited about this swap.

ssnare 06-28-2012 08:51 AM

I am watching but have not committed. I love all of the blocks so far.

QuilterMomma 06-28-2012 03:03 PM

Do I need to push off the fence here ssnare? You can join, lots of time to get something put together. Will be fun. Oh you so want to because there are some really awesome blocks and you don't have anything better to do to stay out of the heat down there. Ah come on girl, you know you want to. Jump on off that fence. I promise I won't let Ms. Grace twist your arm or foot.

RedGarnet222 06-29-2012 06:15 AM

Welcome to the fall fantasy swap jillnjo! You are all signed up.

I recently signed up for the siggie swap but since I already have all my blocks made for that I'm going to check out some fall ideas and see what I can come up with. I love fall, I'll get back with you all in a little while if I find something that I think will work.

By the way I love everything I've seen on here so far, you all have done a great job on your blocks.

jillnjo 07-04-2012 10:29 AM

Hi, sewhappy! Join in! By the way, are you out of electric? I sure hope not with all this sweltering heat!

sewhappy30 07-04-2012 10:40 AM

We have been out of electric for 5 days, it just came back on yesterday. We were blessed to have a generator. The temp got up to 106 on my themometer. I made all of my blocks for the siggie swap yesterday when it came back on just in case it went off again. Loved your blocks for this swap jillnjo, I'm looking to see what I can find then will probably join.

Jillnjo, your blocks are great! I especially love the Fall words! Hope I get one... :)

Here is the start of my crows for my next set. I just need to do all of the outline stitching now. I am thinking these will be 9 1/2 by 9 1/2 when they are finished. I have them at 9 3/4 now in case of the edges fraying while I have to stitch them.

jillnjo 07-05-2012 12:25 PM

Thanks for the nice comments on my blocks! I messed up and made 6 sets, so now I have to choose 4 to put in the swap!

The crow is a great idea!

ssnare 07-05-2012 02:56 PM

I love the acorns, plums and the fall.

rwquilts 07-05-2012 03:20 PM

Red, your crow is super cute!

RedGarnet222 07-05-2012 04:17 PM

Thanks so much rwquilts! I have the stitching started now. Hopefully I will have then finished within the next couple days. :~)

Tam...Moo 07-05-2012 04:33 PM

I love your crow.....and your background fabric makes it pop....

marcialee 07-05-2012 06:27 PM

This is my pumpkin block. let me know if it is ok since it is embroidered. I may cut it down it is a 91/2x91/2 right now. I am thinking of cutting some of the white down. Any input is good since I am not very good at judging these. I just got my embroidery machine and am excited to utilize it.

Mariposa 07-09-2012 01:36 PM

marcialee- your pumpkin block is great!!

ssnare 07-09-2012 01:42 PM

I love the pumpkin block. I would leave it just like it is. Leave it as 9 1/2" block. You are all making it harder and harder not to join this swap.

jillnjo 07-09-2012 02:09 PM

Wonderful block and the size seems good to me.

Tam...Moo 07-09-2012 04:52 PM

I love your pumpkin block. I don't have an embroidery machine...you will be able to make so many beautiful blocks. enjoy!

kensington 07-09-2012 06:56 PM

The punkin block is cute!

HomespunHandmaiden 07-11-2012 08:17 AM

The blocks are all looking great! I'll post some pics of mine when they are finished :)

RedGarnet222 07-12-2012 07:46 AM

Cool we LOVE pictures Homespunhandmaiden!

urgodschild2 07-12-2012 06:55 PM

Ok I will join in because you all sound like you are having so much fun. I want to do at least a scarecrow. Maybe corn or a cornucopia too. How does that sound. I will definitely do 4 sets.

RedGarnet222 07-13-2012 08:55 AM

I love all of the thpughts you have on your blocks while joining us urgodschild2! Welcome to the swap, I have you all signed in. :~)

jillnjo 07-13-2012 08:58 AM

Welcome to the swap! I must get my name on each block and package them up to send out. I love all your ideas, too, especially the scarecrow!

Here is my last set. I loved the words in the middle of the block, so I wanted to share it with you gals.

So there ended up being a turkey, a crow, a squirrel and a pieced block shown here for my blocks.
