There was a post on the swap board that got me all excited muse and sew. I guess it jump started my creative juices and I went for it. Hopefully there won't be any wildfires this year. The last year I hosted it looked like London here it was so smoky because of them. Although I plan on putting them into plastic bag in a plastic tub until the swap day.

I have you all signed up for the swap now too.

This sounds like so much fun. I love Halloween and Christmas. I have plenty of fabric that I'm sure I can come up with something. The quilt pictures are great!

I am thinking about this swap. Are the blocks to be appliqued or can they be pieced? I really don;t like to do applique, I'm never satisfied with the outcome. But I have some fun halloween fabrics that would be great pieced blocks.

RedGarnet222 06-19-2014 12:06 PM

Oh dear YES! I just think the pieced blocks set the quilts off great. Please look back at the two quilt pictures I posted on the thread (pg.2) and see the pieced blocks in them. Let me know if you want me to sign you up dottie dodge.

So I got so excited I already have 2 sets finished and a moc up of a third set done is it customary for this swap to post pictures? Truthfully I'm kind of excited about them.

RedGarnet222 06-20-2014 08:35 AM

Oh yes PLEASE post them billi! I just love the banter and the show and tell part of the swap. I know there are others who do too. I am so excited about this swap. I found my four blocks that I will be making and as soon as I finish the donation quilt for the auction, I will be on this like right away. I love to play with the Halloween blocks. They are just so dang cute!

Awesome. I just got a new phone hopefully I can figure out how to resize to post a picture. Yay it only took. Me half an hour to figure it out.

this is the mock up of three of my blocks. I'm working out a forth one now. So far I'm pretty pleased with them.

I think my sizes are acceptabe at 6.5 square 9.5 square and 6.5 x 12.5 rectangle.
