I'd like to do Pinwheel for my r/w/&b blocks if that okay. Otherwise Sunlight & Shadows, Texas Rose, or Cactus Flower would be my choice -- any of them. Thanks ever so much.

I bought some of the same fabric, the red/white stripes! lol I was thinking of the United States flag when I got it. I decided not to use it since we will be swapping internationally. I will do something else with it. I love the way you used it in your block. What a striking block. You got the stripes so perfect, too. :thumbup: I don't think I have seen that block before. Very nice.

nena 03-22-2010 11:22 AM

Love that block!!

sew cornie 03-22-2010 12:37 PM

That's a really pretty block. I love the stripes with the polka dots. Hope one of those makes it into my collection. :-D

Yeah, like SewCornie, I would love to have at least one of these blocks. :-)

I think you got the right color blue too. I couldn't find any that color. Small town. I tried.

NorBanaquilts 03-22-2010 02:50 PM

I don't have you on the activity page, just let me know what block you would like to do and I'll add you.

I'm sorry, memathomas, I started to look for the link for you, and got sidetracked. Looks like it is okay after all. NorBannaQuilts will take good care of you. :-)

Hopefully, if it goes international, they will enjoy the dots and the stripes! The blue is a royal blue tone.

I'm sure they will. When I bought my fabric, I was thinking US flag and 4th of July. I'm still pretty limited in the blocks I can make, so it may take me a while to decide how to use it. I was hoping to finish my blocks today but I ran into a problem. I don't understand how I made 8 blocks that matched up pretty well, and all of a sudden, there is one spot that I can't match no matter what I do. I tried not to get frustrated and picked out the stitches and sewed again, then picked out the stitches, and sewed again, then picked out the stitches... I even started over and the next block did the same thing. I'll try again tomorrow before work.

Very nice :thumbup: Someday I want to try a star. Yours looks really complicated. I'm not that good. I may never get past the 9-patch. lol

All of the blocks that have been posted so far look great.
I have my blocks finished and if I can figure out how to get the pics posted I will show them. Right now I have to go to work. I hate when work interferes with quilting!

ME TOO!!! Oh well, gotta make enough $ for more fabric. We have our priorities. lol

hoppyfrog 03-23-2010 12:37 PM

Brenda, If you learn to paper piece you'll love doing stars and other blocks with points. They come out perfect and sharp. That's the only way I'll do them now.

hoppyfrog 03-23-2010 12:38 PM

I've been thinking about paper piecing, but I tend to research things to death before I give them a try. :oops: I have seen some of the paper piecing members of the board have done and love them. I think I need to try very soon. :-)

Here are the ones I've done, too busy. I like the 2nd one best, but it still needs work I think.

sdp. I like the block layout and if you were you use a dark blue in the middle two squares that might take away your business feeling. Love the colors and prints.

Oh my gosh!!! I did Jacob's ladder but thought it was just a variation of the 9-patch. Yours is so much nicer than mine. Yours is beautiful!

Should I start over and stick with the 9-patch? I'm just learning about the swaps.

Nice block! It is so much fun to see the different ways we can come up with r/w/b. :-)

I would like to make a big quilt too, but got my first 8 squares done and then something is off in one spot on the last few and I can't figure out what I did wrong. It was going so well until then.

Where did you guys all find such wonderful fabric? I found stripes but not stars. These are going to be so fun to receive. I want a block from everyone! Ok, I know, I sound greedy, but I think they are all so beautiful and I am so excited about a r/w/b/ quilt. I have only worked in pastels and muted colors so far.

Oh, yes, and I was thinking too, should we all make a baker's dozen so the coordinator can have one of each? It wouldn't take a lot of time and it would show our appreciation for all the behind-the-scenes work she is doing.

sdparent 03-24-2010 11:26 AM

I LOVE it!!!

I signed up on March 20, 2010, but didn't have a block choice at that time. My choice is to do PINWHEEL (Quilterscache.com), at least 12 blocks. If there's a problem with this block please contact me at:

Thanks ever so much.
