Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

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.

This is the stack and slash I did in 1 hour last Friday 🙂
I am going to add the bear applique piece to it and make a quilt for my toddler girl bed.

Chuk.... I have a lovely friend... she is an expert and a teacher of patchwork/quilting. She instructed me..... while she played with miss 3. I sewed.
I have to admit.... I did the sashings later, sorry. Just the blocks in an hour. The bears I did about 3 yrs ago.....
The stack and slash is a dress rehearsal for my collection of authentic William Morris fabrics....... that my daughter and son in law brought back from the UK for me.

karen that's amazing!!! love it! Umm, but what exactly is a stack and slash??

Nearly finished, really not happy with quality of my quilting, but have done just about as much reverse sewing as I intend to do.

Onto the next project.

Will post finished pic later in the week.
