What’s On My Design Wall August 23, 2010

Bits and pieces of several things. The blocks at the top left are the first two blocks from the Kaw Valley Quilters Guild block of the month. The two blocks on the far right are a couple of swap blocks. I’ve got one more to do this month and then I’ll get them in the mail.
The two rows of 6″ blocks are the blocks from Row A of Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler. I’m currently working on A6 – Tennessee and then I’ll be done with Row A.
Finally, the two 3″ pinwheels may or may not end up in a miniature quilt. They could just as easily end up in the Orphan Block box.
See if others are bouncing between multiple projects by following the links over at Patchwork Times.
Squishies in the Mail May 31, 2009
Posted by Pam in KC in birthday blocks, swaps.comments closed
I belong to several on-line quilting groups and participate in a couple of birthday swaps. As a result May is a month of Squishies. For the past 4 or 5 years I’ve participated in a centralized FQ swap. The hostess gathers the FQs from all of the participants at the beginning of the year sorts them back out and then the week of your birthday you get a package of FQ in the mail. The FQs I received this year are pictured above.
The second swap I participated in this year was a decentralized block swap. We were divided into several groups so the # of blocks wouldn’t be overwhelming and we make a block for the group members and send it to them for their birthday. We were allowed to specify colors and blocks if we desired. I picked the Pennsylvania block in blue and white. I plan to alternate these blocks with blue and yellow star blocks. Maybe by next year I’ll have a birthday quilt.
