Here is a great applique Hot Air Balloon pattern:

There is also a very nice paper piecing Hot Air Balloon pattern, but you would need to make four (per block) or enlarge the pattern!

Enjoy - happy sewing!!

I'm in for this one, also. Any hot air balloon as long as it measures 12 1/2 inches unfinished. I have a pattern that I collected a long time ago as well as pictures from a real hot air balloon festival in Reno, NV. a few years back. Should be a fun one! (naturally following all other "rules" that are posted.)

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!!!!

ok send me the rules, and what is requiered. I am in. Penny

August? Really? Hummmmm....I might be able to do it. I'll wait for a while before committing, but sounds really fun!!

Actually, they are due Sept 3rd.

I just love hot air balloons. I am in. I have been watching for a swap that I can really get into, and I think this is it. Cant wait to see how these turn out.

the rules are on page one

I'm in.

Are we doing a standard colour for the background?

I will let this one fly (HaHa) as to your own choice of background........

Hi All,
I thought this article and picture was very cool - especially given this thread.
It was in Quilt magazine in 2008
Enjoy, Paula

Very Cool....But my block won't look like that...LOL

Mine won't either but that is really awesome! Thanks for sharing

This one is soooooo tempting. But you should see my to do list.

But if it comes around again in a couple of years I'm definitely all for it.

this is going to be so much fun

I have been thinking of how to do my balloons, I am looking forward to seeing what is in this swap sooooooo much!

I started designing mine today....on paper.

I got a hot air balloon ride for my birthday so sign me up for 12 blocks in Sept. Now I have to find a design. This should be really fun! thanks

Thanks Dragonfly Nana. I thought I was going to have to do this conversion this weekend. I think it will look even cuter in this smaller size, don't you?
