I hope not. This sounds FUN.
And the colors are great!
I will do some sort of log cabin.
Thanks! Spring

i pulled them from my stash because the remind me of spring.

Don't feel bad I have the same fabric, the top one, pansies and I actually like it. Though I agree the tulips wouldn't cut it though :)

Please sign me up...I'm not sure which block yet.

Pretty much the same for me........I get excited about the fabrics too, and have to "hold myself back" if I have to say to myself, "does this work?".......this tell me that as much as I love what I am looking at, it doesn't work.....I learned that while attending interior design school If I have to work at making it work, it doesn't......beautiful fabrics tho..

nena 01-13-2010 05:26 PM

Please change my block pattern to .....let me think about it for awhile. LOL I tried the one I was going to do today and did not like it. Thanks Nena

i'm thinking the majority of the group is going to say no - i put something like this up yesterday and most didn't want me to use it.

i think its strictly purple, green, pink with only white (no blue, yellow, orange).

mosher92 01-14-2010 05:30 AM

If someone drops out of this one I would like to join. I do not know how i missed it.

Lol, I am guessing it might end up that way, but your pics gave tme the idea.. I like these fabrics and have quite a bit of the green one (like 7 yards or something lol) So I figured I would ask..

NorBanaquilts 01-14-2010 07:54 AM

mosher92 you can still join sign ups don't close till March 15th. Let me know what block you want to do and I will add you to the list.

mosher92 01-14-2010 10:04 AM

I just saw that the swap is open until March. I read it quick and panicked I guess. Sign me up, and I will decide what block I am doing. Usually I do a few before I decide on one.

NorBanaquilts 01-14-2010 11:38 AM

mosher just let me know when you decide. Post your practice blocks they'll be fun to see.

fleurish335 01-14-2010 03:33 PM

BY THE WAY, I HAVE CHANGED MY PATTERN.......I WILL BE MAKING THE "COLOR WHEEL"..."CARD TRICK" PATTERN......THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME......MORE SIMPLE THAN WHAT I ORIGINALLY SIGNED UP FOR.....(old grey goose)..THANKS FOLKS...THIS IS EXCITING.......

ntaylor 01-14-2010 05:06 PM

I'd like to play :) Don't know what I want to do yet though...

springtime 01-14-2010 05:15 PM

krazy4quilts 01-17-2010 05:28 PM

Id like to join if possible. Thanks

nena 01-18-2010 06:38 AM

Ok I'm doing Rail Fence. My first time for this (exchange)so I thought I'd better go simple. LOL

cjt_mama 01-18-2010 08:16 AM

So I will guess the fabrics I posted won't work, I think I can come up with something else lol.. Hmmm.... Off to go looking

hsquiltingmom 01-18-2010 08:30 PM

Okay,

If I decide to do this, this would be my first one. Should my fabrics be pretty much plain, or should they just have the colors in them. I am a little but confused.

I think (might be wrong) They are Maywood studios... I bought them here in town at a LQS, dont know how recent... I have had them for a lil while (couple of months maybe??)

alaskasunshine 01-18-2010 09:55 PM

Thanks I'll try and do some looking around here. :-D

Janstar 01-18-2010 10:21 PM

Very pretty cjt! How's your baby doing?

missgigglewings 01-19-2010 07:06 AM

You call that a practice square? That is beautiful! I have been agonizing over this color match and you nailed it! Now I feel more confident about my own choices! Great job and thanks! I wish I had a baby to bounce!

NorBanaquilts 01-19-2010 07:16 AM

cjt-Great Block, the colors are perfect!

Lol, thank you... Bouncing is the only thing that keeps him from fussing, so we do that frequently

As long as the fabrics are lavendar/pink/green you can choose whatever you like.
