This is the first block, I just happened to have the kitty material on my cutting table so thought it was a good one to do for Shirley.

ScrappyLouisa's block. This was the only cat fabric I had (it is not Laura Burch), but if you don't like it I will make another one. I still can not drive for another 3 weeks and will look for other cat fabric then. This block was so quick to make, The colors are much brighter than shows in the picture.
|
Great job, ladies! I've already started planning out some of my blocks and can't wait to get started on them.
|
I like the cats they are really cute!!!!!!
|
Beachlady,
It is purrfect! Don't change it a bit. The cats are not too funky like Laura Burch style. Shirley |
Yes the blocks are great!!!! Our swap officially does not start until July 15th. I have several over achievers and they are doing a great job!!!!
I cannot post because I do not have a camera or even have an idea how to do such. Thanks Loretta for the complement the ladies are doing great!!!! Check is classified section some of the ladies had already posted there. More great looking blocks!!!!! |

Grey, White and Black Annie's Choice for Dazzleme. First time I ever made this block and it was fun. Grandsons give me the ok if they like it or not. LOL Jennifer, the black has a very subtle grey running through the black. Again the colors are not true - almost looks faded and I promise you they are not.
|
I love the fish, have to find cat fabric and can't start until I finish 2 other projects before the deadline rolls around. Guess I'll just keep looking.
|
Beachlady the block you made for Dazzleme is just great. Love those big dots and your color choices. Kep up the good work!!!!
|
beach lady:
I love it!!! Wow it is great! I love the colors as well. Thank you!! Jennifer |
Beachlady, that cat fabric is too cute!
Just makes ya smile when ya look at it! |
I have begun sorting fabrics for each block during my daughter's nap time and then making them during the afternoon. But I have a question as I don't want to make a block wrong.
Mareliba~ The no name block pattern has three colors on it. Dark Brown, Dark Red, and Bright Yellow Gold, do you mean the bright yellow gold as the background? I understand these colors are not the colors you picked, these are the colors from the pattern, so to clarify using the colors from the pattern, which one is the one you consider the background? |
The blocks are really looking great. I won't be starting mine untill I come back from Hilton Head. I'll check out the quilts shops there. I will have to go to Savanah I quess to find some, That is were I will look for Kitty fabric. Donna
|
Elizabeth - Yes, the yellow gold will be considered the light color or background and the other two as the dark colors.
I am so excited to see the results. mareliba |
Thanks dear! I'll be getting to it hopefully in the next few days... :D

The mother of all butterfly blocks for Annmarie!!! Tried to make it look like a monarch butterfly. Colors are brighter than picture. We tried to darken it and that helped a little.
|
:evil: :evil: :cry:
Have done the butterfly block twice now...1st time..the points on the triangles were too close to the edge.. 2nd time..the whole darn block is 1/8" too big!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Hmmmm...maybe I should just applique a butterfly on a 12 1/2" block :roll: |
Sandpat - annmarie said any color, any size!!! I think this is the only block that does not have to be 12 1/2 "
|
Ladies
Annmarie's butterfly blocks have no size she wants them to be varoius sizes. Do not worry about that. We are all okay with 6in, 9in, and so on!!! |
