Just a reminder to everyone. . .
If you are behind in sending blocks, please communicate with your partner about it so they know they have not been totally abandoned. If you feel you need a month off to catch up, please let me know and we can do that rather than having people get further and further behind and end up with unhappy partners. We all know unexpected circumstances can arise, but please communicate and then follow through, or PM me for a short time-out. Please "play fair." If you have still not received your June or July or August block, please let me know right away. Thanks :thumbup: shirley |

Thank you Bibliostone. The blocks are perfect for my theme! What are the names of each of the blocks? Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. The "Quilter's Block Bible" calls the top one Four-Patch Weave. You are supposed to use two different colors for the points and have them "interweave" in the center and the small squares are a separate color. But, since I only had a remnant of the piece I used in the center, I made the points all one color and made the center a single block. Also, I used that fabric for the small squares. The second block is similar to Clay's Choice, but that has the pinwheel points in the second block and the solid dark blocks on the corner. I don't know if this block has it's own name or not. I sometimes think there is only one quilt block and everything else is just a variation of it! |
Received my Sept block from Sistahdebbra today it is beautiful. Love the colors. Will post pictures tonight when hubby get home, he took camera today. Thanks sistahdebbra.

I am so lucky to be getting such wonderful "tea" blocks. Thanks again. Love, Pat |
I also received my block from KR Karen today. What beautiful fabrics in this block! A very nice layout of the faric too. I love it, it will be so neat with my other blocks. Thanks Karen, and yours finally went out today. Had DH take it to the PO to make sure it was in the mail this time. Thanks again, and ditto my other post, I'll get pics up as soon as possible. What a geat day it was, receiving two sets of blocks, one from Scotland and one from the USA.
This is the best idea of a swap I think, such fun to receive a block or two each month! Thanks MadeinMaine for all of your hard work! Pat pats8e8 |

How beautiful - all of the blocks look like they were made by artists - doesn't it just make you smile to be the recipient of such treasures?
