April, those are so cute! I love the fabrics you used! It reminds me of some houses I saw this summer when I visited Maine!

Deb/Crafty3790, I mailed off 6 sets of 3 (18 blocks) to you today. I will PM you the DEl. Conf. #. I can't wait to see what I get back.

There great. I love them.
MaryMo hope you get to sew them.

Here is pics of my blocks, and I hope you all like them :) These are the ones I made for me to keep, but I made a set of 3 of each design and mailed the off to Deb yesterday.

Can't wait to see what I get back ... :)

PinkLotus, I love your blocks ! Your color choices are perfect ....They look simple but complete.

They look great.

So cute they are. I finished, after ripping paper piecing a few times, two sky scrapers. Now onto the quilt shoppe. That is going to be even more of a challenge. I wonder how many times I will have to rip on those. If I have to more than twice, they are going in the garbage!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I tried to get as "Funky" as I could, and I found it was a little hard for me. After years of striving for "perfect piecing" it was a little out of my comfort zone, but I did have fun :)

The hanging birdhouse didn't call for a door or a hole in the pattern, but now I am wishing I had added one. Maybe the 3 who gets them can add it if you like. From looking at the pic it just calls to me that it needs one :p

It says my blocks were delivered today - WoooHoo :) :) Let me know for sure Deb when you get a chance though.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Thats fantastic. It's great to be able to tweak things if you want to. I left room for others to interpret the blocks I sent in also. Just in case I went to far with mine.

I was beginning to think that the 15th would never get here, but TOMORROW IS THE 15TH!!!! Yeah!!

Getting excited to get a package this week, I hope! WAY better than tax week - it's funky house week!

So after several rippings and lots of time to remember how to paperpiece, tadah, here are my skyscrapers and quilt shoppes. I worked real hard on these and I hope you enjoy them. Excited for the trading to begin.

Great work! Love the skyscraper.

love all those blocks, QuilterMomma! The sky scrapers are wonderful. We need more quilt shops, can I try your idea?

Thanks for the update Deb, and QuilterMomma I love your blocks.

Here is conf #9405 5036 9930 0481 5645 95

Quilter Momma, Love your Sky scrapers and quilt shops. Great job!

Pink Lotus, I love yours as well. They are sweet and will definitely look great with all the others. I know what you mean..It's hard to go funky when your used to having to be really precise. LOL You would have thought it would be easy.
I'm going to have to practice letting loose a bit more. But, generally, I'm happy with how mine came out.

Be my guest. I used a pp pattern that I resized up to 6". Only had to rip a couple of times. Did not work easily with directional fabric tho.

Oh my blocks are there. She must be swapping because so quiet. I am just as thrilled as the rest of you ladies. Wow, if they come back next week, I can finish assembling and have done for my UFO project. Yes, these were houses I had cut up several years ago when i did another p5roject.

There are so many great blocks - so many ideas too! Can't wait to see what I will receive - lets see - lighthouse, quilt store, cabin, treehouse, etc etc etc

I got 3 packages today. I will start swapping out tomorrow. Yeah

QuilterMomma I love your blocks too. It's going to be really fun to see what blocks come my way. I'm excited to build my neighborhood.
If you need some cute filler blocks I found this fun sulky web-site with a bom village. It's in another language, other than English, but the applique patterns are all there. It's fun to look at too. If I'd found this site before, I probably would have included one of their blocks. Hope this link works.

YEA can hardly wait.

If you click on the British flag and then go to BOM there's some in 2012 and 2010. There adorable.

Thanks Crafty. Now I can re-download it & really read it. :) Glad you liked them.

So what language is that? If German, I think i would try and let my daughter's German class figure it out. They are cute

I can't wait!! So happy the swapping has begun!! I'm sooo excited :D

I had fun touching all the houses they are so awesome and what a creative group you are.

No touchy, must swappy

I can't wait to receive them. I just wish I could have one of each! They're all wonderful.

Well it's kinda hard to swap without touching.LOL

I almost am thru swapping some will go out mon. The rest will go out wed. I have appointments on tues.

Yay! We get our squishies soon! ;)

Yea! I can't wait.

yes it's german - a very good side with wonderful pattern. I love the BOMs from the whole last years. The Bom from 2012 is so cute!
There is a button for english language on the left side. do you see it?

Ok so there pretty much swapped. I must have done some errors with my math so I'm short some I will post what I have as the quantity that was sent if I have it wrong please let me know but either way you will receive what you sent they just might be a masterpiece or 2 from me. Some of you will have received 2 from the same person but no duplicates I think you will be happy I tried to note who wanted what so I could fulfill it.
