Debbie

I was saying to Bebe "All these blocks are hard!" She said, "Well that is why it is called "Challenge Block Swap", Puzwhiz."LOL I am learning a lot with the blocks I have worked on so far. They are challenging me, but I am having a lot of fun.

Bettlove your Card Trick looks great, your points are perfect! :D

Puzwhiz and Bettlove your blocks are looking great!!!
Yes the blocks are challenging but it has helped us get out of our comfort zone. Now we know we can make more challenging blocks!!!!!!

Here is the Housewife Block for CCBear. Hope you like it.

Mareliba, your housewife block is beautiful. I might try that one next.

I started to look at some of the blocks I made and now thinking I am going to redo several of them. I want all of them to be perfect and the more mistakes I have been making is really teaching me what not to do next time. This challenge is not only a lot of fun but a good learning experience and makes me appreciate well made blocks that are being posted. Before I used to just look at the over all quilts from a distance and now I am looking at them more up close and personal. It amazes me how the pioneer quilters ever made some of the quilts without the aid of a rotoray cutter and rulers, good lighting and sewing machines with 1/4" feet and :roll: rip out tools. :lol:
