Nice runners. Really like the tshirt block placement.

Here's a pair of 9P I did 4 years ago. Same border and setting square fabrics; smaller version uses finishes 1.5"; larger is 2.25".[ATTACH=CONFIG]419245[/ATTACH]
This doll quilt was for QB swap--squares finish at 1". If I recall--no 2 squares are alike.[ATTACH=CONFIG]419246[/ATTACH]
A strippy Thanksgiving quilt[ATTACH=CONFIG]419247[/ATTACH]

How great is that! What an heirloom. Clever gran working it all out!

These quilts are fantastic, love them all! Right now I am working on a quilt/bed spread. What is a quilt/bed spread? I have two boston terriers that sleep day and night on our bed. They are clean dogs but I just don't feel like they should be sleeping on my comforter. Plus I really have wanted to make a quilt for that bed.
Thanks to the many ideas that every one here has come up, I am working on a quilt for that bed that I can also get washed on a regular basis.
It uses strips from my stash and 10" blocks that I received in a swap, actually lots of swaps.Thats it.I sew the strings to the blocks and sew them together using Deter's method. There is no batting so not as much weight.
I will send a picture if and when I can post one.
Thankyou Rhonda for starting this scrap club, I have really enjoyed it.

I so enjoyed seeing everyone's pictures, I particulary love the purse! And the t-shirt quilt layout is awesome!

I've mostly been a lurker but now I guess I don't even qualify for that. DH was in the heart hospital for heart failure with AV block. (Basically heart rate was under 40 and he was swollen from his feet to his calf! They had to put him on mega doses of diuretics before they could put in pacemaker on Monday but this made his already compromised kidneys due to diabetes spiral downward. That crashed his iron level, dropped to 7.6! They wanted to give him a blood transfusion but I questioned it as the kidney specialist told me she didn't like transfusions (it makes it harder for a donor match if he needs a transplant). So, they re-ran the bloodwork and it was 8.4 which was only .2 below the day before.

Finally got him home but he's on meds 4x per day and I haven't been able to work (no income coming in) because he needs monitoring. His stroke in 2008 caused some memory problems so I have to be sure he takes his meds! BUT he's still not back on the diuretics so his feet are starting to swell and I'm hoping the kidney specialist will let him go back on a lighter doseage of the diuretics on Tuesday so we don't wind back up in the hospital with shortness of breath and fluid retention.

Work is piling up at work and home and I really needed to take this break today and catch up with you folks.

I'll try to check in from time to time I love seeing your projects! Please keep Charles in your prayers. (He's only 60!)

Goldendog (Judy) Wow! One person's scraps are another's treasures. What a treasure you received. I am glad she remembered you!

Great pics ladies!! I really love that t-shirt quilt!!! I've made a couple so far but didn't have good creative references to work from. The layout is amazing - great job!!

Rhonda, do you think it is possibly to have a string swap? Strings any where from 1 1/2" to 2 1/2". There are so many thing you can make with strings, depending on the size. I can picture a drestan plate block, any number of table runners, made with either 2 1/2", 1 1/2" squares or just strips. Of course there are pot holders, center pieces, candle mats etc.

Here is a scrappy I just finished. Posted on the Quilters Swap, made for Linny.[ATTACH=CONFIG]419534[/ATTACH]

Love that t-shirt quilt. Nice job on the layout.
Rhonda, is this the time for the orphan blocks to swap? That's what I thought it was from the post ealier last week.
