Many of us are open to doing more than one block a month, you could cruise the list. Find themes that could work with what you have on hand and pm the other person to see if they are open to an extra block.

Great Blocks!
I have blocks sitting here in the envelope waiting to go to the post office for JaneCat.... Sharing one car between DH and DS, won't make the post office today, storm coming....maybe tomorrow:) I will post pictures later today of two blocks from JaneCat, I love them, you did an awesome job! Thank you!!! |
Great idea NorBana. Due to time constraints, I don't have a star by my name to be available for sideswaps, but I'd make an exception here for your circumstances 7armadillos.

Now I have to get busy making my contribution. :) Moosegirl, THANK YOU for the extra 6" inch block for myself! It is adorable! I love it! I need to learn all the fancy embroidery that you do- it is an amazing little block! :) Every time I look at it, I see something new! You're so sweet to send me treats! Samroberts01 mailed me a great red and white star. This quilt is going to be amazing!! I need to put up pictures soon, THANKS EVERYONE! ...ANd if you haven't submitted your lottery block, there is still tons of time! Remember, you have to enter the lottery in order to have a chance to win. (And you'll want to win this set of blocks, they're so much fun!) |

Wow those are really cool blocks, here's mine from Lavandula or Liz it's cool, not sure of it's name but I love it. Then here's the other's again that I have recieved so far. Liz I'm still working on yours (math sucks) I keep getting 15 and if I remove 1 it's 12. Don't ask but trust me it's cool. Just need to get my head out of the air.

You ladies are really pushing me to try the pieced blocks. I do not have much experience with that - I mostly do applique and crayon quilts but I am loving all of the blocks and it is amazing how different the same pattern looks when you just change the fabric. I may learn something new - perhaps an old dog can learn new tricks. Thanks for your friendship and all of the wonderful support.

You Can DO IT!!! There are ALL different skill levels on this site! Dont worry!! Just try it! It's lots of fun!!

Hi Tam1960,
Could you explain what a crayon quilt is? I haven't heard this term before. |
I recently took a class for crayon quilts. You actually color the design on muslin using Crayola crayons. Then you iron off the wax between paper towels or brown paper. Any embelishments can be made with outline markers, embroidery floss, or whatever.... It's fun.

WOW These blocks are all just so stunning!
I received a fabulous and beautiful block from Quilt Mom-thank you so much for the work on my behalf! I also received a January and February block from Moosegirl and all I can say is Oh my goodness I sure hope my handwork is as beautiful someday as hers is now! Thank you so very much! I love all of the blocks I have received for my outdoor themed quilt so far-thank you everyone you all do such beautiful work! Hugs April From top left to bottom right-Shirley, Pam G, SewJoyce, SewJoyce, Susan F, Sewjoyce, QuiltMom, Moosegirl, Moosegirl [ATTACH=CONFIG]3042[/ATTACH] From Quilt Mom [ATTACH=CONFIG]3046[/ATTACH] Moosegirl-look at the handwork! [ATTACH=CONFIG]3104[/ATTACH] Another Moosegirl block [ATTACH=CONFIG]3106[/ATTACH] |
Reneebobby - glad the block arrived! No rush on the one you're sending. I completely understand the math-not-working issue. (Happens with my checkbook, too... hmmm.) :lol:

Mad Quilter is right - it is so simple and lots of fun. I did a quilt last year with children doing all kinds of activities and donated it to St. Judes through the local Hancock Fabric Store. I guess the kid in me just likes to color so why not? I am working on a plaid cat quilt for my sister who is going through Chemotherapy and it really looks cool with the crayon colors. Try it - you may like it!

These latest blocks are all so great.
April, that's a fantastic collection! Lucky you! |
LMBO!!

Thanks for the info MadQuilter and Tam1960. Sounds very interesting. I already do fabric painting and colourque - does this mean I now have to buy crayons? I think it does!
