thanks for posting the picture. I really love this block, it fits in perfectly with all the other great ones i have received.

thanks Andrea, figured it would be quicker to make a music theme than run around trying to find fabric!

I had some Christmas ones and I made 4-patch blocks out of them. I put two, right sides together, and sewed 1/4 inch down two opposite sides. Then I cut them in half down the middle. I did the same for two more. Then I mixed the two sets, laid two of the blocks right sides together matching the seams down the middle. I sewed across the two ends (across the ends with center stitched line) and cut those in half down the middle and you end up with a 4 1/2 inch 4-patch block. Hope this helps.

Was that clear as mud?

Third row, last block on the right - I love it. Was that paper pieced? Can anyone give me some information on that block? I would love to make one.

I like sewing the charms into pinwheels. ,The result looks great. I also use them for snowballs.

That block is on quilterscache.com

you will have to modify it to be a 12 inch block

Just finished my blocks. Going out to Willip and 2 blocks to dotcomdtcm. Hope everyone likes there blocks.

I have been making blocks all week in free time. I am almost caught up on swaps. I thought I'd get out today for treats and post office, but air pump on car went bad, so it is at garage. I spent most of day today putting fabric back in shelves where it belongs. I can see progress in sewing room even if no one else can. Hope to get these mailed before end of week.

Janetwall love your bird blocks!! Welcome to the group.

To my swap partner and all the Extra partners- I have been out of town with the grandkids. I'll be back this weekend and can start on the blocks next week.

The grandkids are fun - ages 15 months, eighteen months, 2 and a half and three and a half but no time for quilting or reading on the internet.
Thanks for being patient ;) ;) ;)
