Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

[azureline**]

Sometime in early 2007, the Craft Board quilters got together and organised a Block Swap. We had to design and prepare enough blocks to make a quilt for ourselves, provide the first block completed and send the package on to the other crafty people in the swap.
We each completed a block in everyone's set.
My quilt was for my grandsons' bedroom in my home. I set a theme of teddy bears and boy's toys.
Most of these quilts have been finished for some time....... but.... I could not make a decision on how to do mine until recently.
I learned so much in that year and can't thank everyone who was involved enough! My applique skills are much improved.
So, thank you ♥

I have also sewn the labels of the blockmakers onto the back of the quilt, behind the relevant blocks.
I made mine into a quillow, a quilt that folds into a pillow, so one of the blocks is on the back of the quilt and when folded into it, becomes a pillow.
My 3 yo grandaughter looked at it and said "Gran, that is brilliant" and that is a good recommendation, so I have to thank everyone who was involved.

Little darling is great Seti, she is 15 months old and my word she can move, haha. She is the best medicine for her Poppy, he is always brighter and better when she is here.

One day I will finish this one - I started it four years ago - have all the pieces cut and half the piecing done - its a king size for my own bed. Hope I can remember how it goes when I finally get around to it.

That fabric is stunning rosie!!

So where do most people buy their fabric. The choice seems to be quite limited in WA. puddle do you have any special suppliers or do most people buy on line?

[rosieglen]

I buy 99% of mine from the USA - on line. Even with postage and exchange rate it is about half the price we must pay here.

If anyone wants I have a wonderful link to 100 quilt shops and you can browse all you like
